lWhat
if, we lived a world were masked men in tights capes or spandex really did run
though our streets. This concept has been explored in such media as Watchmen,
Kickass, and even The Dark Night. Vigilantes who take the law into their own
hands, to help bring criminals to justice. Alan Moore’s Watchmen chronicled the
lives of costumed avengers, in an alternate universe. Once criminals started
wearing masked and costumes, a group called The Minute Men decided to do the
same. However some of these men became victims, of their own life style habits,
one killed due to her own seductive life style, one getting his cape stuck, and
another who just went insane. Apart from serve even life threatening injuring
that would require intense medical
attention, hospitalization, and months of recovery, are these such what took
place with the original Minuet Men the realalistc aspects of what a hero live
super hero might face. In the film Kickass, one young teenager questioned what
if someone tried to be a super hero, and sets out to do it, despite his first
outing wasn’t a charmer. And in his wake he inspires others, but his actions
lead to such violence and consequence. In The Dark Trilogy, no super heroes
exist, but the Bruce Wayne we all know and love steps out of comfort zone, to
seek training to fight the war on crime, and project his fear into a symbol known
as The Batman, and use his theater tics and stunts, to pull off the job. The
Dark night trilogy unlike ike The Burton and Schumacher era that was just Hollywood
hoopla and over rated character pieces, The Villains in The Dark Knights
trilogy Joker and Bane were more like that kind of super villains you would
imagine in the real world, who would really put society under a micro scope,
using fear to manipulate us. Superman
is meant to never grow old and live forever, but were kids what we don’t
realize is that even most heroes aren’t immortal like Superman. Even though
realistic aspects such as aging don’t come about often in comics, a young Stan
Lee dared to do comics his way, as his wife suggested. Lee proved throughout
his work in Marvel that comics weren’t just for kids. They told him they counts
make Spiderman, cause A he couldn’t be a teenager, B he couldn’t have problems.
Spiderman was the prime example of a super powered being in the real world, who
was a nerd that was UN popular in school, lived with his aunt, and lost his
uncle at the hands of brutal murder. Uncle Ben always dad Peter "with
great power comes great responsibility. Spiderman/Peter Parker was always
pitted to make certain choice given to the good and bad. And losing his
girlfriend Gwen Stacy was only one of those many choices.
If one too to really
go through with being a Super Hero, what one think.
It would depend on the hero’s actions, the way they are
carried out and most of all the way heroes present his or her self. Charles Xavier made his heroes wear uniforms because
it was something people would understand.
Yet has a Seattle man named Phoenix Jones helped answer the question of how one would view a real life super hero. Some have applauded Phoenix Jones others have been spectacle. Some say what Jones dose his dangerous, and should be left to the police, who he his followers mostly wind up calling when the situation gets out of hand. When using pepper spray on a hostile citizen, Jones was arrested, ordered to reveal his identity.
Taking the law into ones owns hands is very dangerous, and most of all deadly. I myself would recommend any one to take on the role of a real life super hero. Its fun to fantasize, just like a lot of other things, but harder to take on.
