Almost everyone knows or at least has heard the name Superman. In the DC Comics universe, he, along with many others such as Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman are all members of the Justice League. The Justice League is an elite group of superheroes united in an effort to bring peace to Earth and justice to those who seek to devastate the planet, whether the threat is "terrestrial, extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or supernatural" (DCWikia). Each of the members has their own strengths, weaknesses, and unique abilities acquired from strange accidents, great intellect and wealth, or alien heritage. The heroes of The League symbolize the kind of people we should all strive to become.

In addition to sporting the colors of the country from which he takes his alias, he constantly makes comments and statements professing his love for America, such as "I am loyal to nothing, General... except to the dream" (Wikiqu.. ... middle of paper ... the same thing that happened to him before anyone else, as all of humanity should. The superhero is a very special race of people, even if they seem to have everything , their gifts are used to help others at all times. It takes faith in a higher cause to be a good hero. The act of giving must become one's whole life what is needed is a little altruism to learn to give, self-sacrifice to not be afraid to take risks and the ability to transform negative aspects into future positive experiences, when it really comes down to it, anyone can make it their own hero like Batman or Superman, however, is much less likely than being a hero.
