A superhero is a person that has the ability to be brave in tough, quick thinking situation. A superhero can be anybody, your neighbor, firefighter, a soldier, police officer, a doctor, anyone. ]]> 2017-04-12 16:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120681 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120703 You do not have to have super powers to be considered a super hero because you can be heroic and save lives without having actually super powers. You need to be brave, and selfless. A superhero is defined by bravery not by physical abilities. ]]> 2017-04-12 16:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120703 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120711 You don't need to have super powers to be a superhero. Other characteristics are bravery and courage. Putting yourself above others is the main trait of a superhero. That is very important for any super hero.

I believe this because superheros have special abilities that help them complete their goals. Regular heroes can still save the day, but they do not have superpowers. Besides the powers, I feel as if they have the same characteristics as regular heroes. These include courage, kindness, etc. It is important that they have these qualities so that they can actually accomplish something. If they had a negative attitude the job would be harder and almost impossible to complete.]]> 2017-04-12 16:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120734 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120751 The definition of a hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Super powers are not a necessary quality of a hero. To be a hero it requires a will for other people's lives, putting others before themselves, and being brave. This is important because a hero should be doing what is best for the people in danger. A hero cannot be defined simply by a few adjectives or qualities. There are various types of superheroes, not all of them wear capes.]]> 2017-04-12 16:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120751 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120781 I think that Disney was right when they said we have the power to be our own superhero.

We are in control of our own lives and we can be the hero of our lives.

So, they do not need to have super powers. However I distinguish between super heroes and Heroes because Heroes can be any person who is defined by what is stated above. The term Superheroes are connected to comic books and powers. Captain America is a man with a shield. Batman uses his gadgets and skills. Iron man needs his super suit. But they protect and serve everyone. They are super, giving them the term superheroes. So a superhero just needs a quality superior than others. ]]> 2017-04-12 16:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120786 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120800 No you do not need superpowers to be considered a superhero. A superhero is defined by bravery and selflessness. A few examples of superheros include Soldiers, Firefighters, Police Officers, Doctors, and anyone else who can put their own lives on the line to help others. Anyone can be a superhero if they are willing to put others before themselves and are brave.]]> 2017-04-12 16:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120800 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120897 You do not need superpowers to be a hero, a hero without superpowers can have superhero characteristics. A hero can be someone who does not have powers but puts other people before himself. If a hero helps someone or puts their life in the risk of death for someone else then that is a hero.

The characteristics to be a hero include selflessness, humility, and bravery. These are all qualities that can be achieved by regular people. Just like a person can be a superhero without powers, a superhuman with powers can be an ineffective force.]]> 2017-04-12 16:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120900 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120914 To be a hero means to be strong, and brave. It also means willing to put others before yourself. "Superhero" and "hero" typically have different connotations, so I feel like they are separate things. It is important to be characterize a hero as strong, brave, courageous or etc. because a hero is typically selfless and willing to take care of others before them self.]]> 2017-04-12 16:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120914 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120986 Yes you need to have super powers to be a super hero, it's literally implied in the word 'super hero.' If you don't have super powers you are NOT a super hero. The only characteristics you need to be a super hero is a stupidly over powered ability, a cruddy movie made for you, and some villain with Alzheimer's that definitely doesn't stand a chance against you. Other than that your personality doesn't really matter as long as you use your powers for a good cause.]]> 2017-04-12 16:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120986 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166120997 You do need super powers to be a superhero because the super in superhero comes from superpowers.

A lot of people that help others everywhere around the world don't have superpowers and the people that save others from car crashes and accidents don't have powers. Characteristics of a superhero are such as giving your courage, and your strength and use your bravery. I think a superhero could be as normal as the person beside you, that person does not have to have superpowers.]]> 2017-04-12 16:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166121112 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166121128 Joey C.

If a person goes out of their way to help or protect others, that makes them a superhero. In order to be a superhero you have to have positive qualities about you such as being strong, kind, brave and caring. If you did not qualities like these, you would not have the ability to be a superhero because all of these characteristics allow you to help others. ]]> 2017-04-12 16:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166121216 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166122261 There are many things that make up a hero, super powers are not a must. For example one of the most well known super heroes is batman, and he doesn't have "super" powers. I would define a hero as someone who goes out of there way to help other people and would put the life of someone else before their own if necessary. I think anyone who is brave enough to risk everything to save someone else should be considered a hero. In my opinion, the man in the water was a hero and i think what he did was really amazing. ]]> 2017-04-12 16:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166122261 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166122509 In my opinion, all superheros need to have super powers such as the ability to fly or read minds. A superhero and hero have different connotations in my mind, thus a hero would be a real life role model and a superhero cannot exist. Although they are different there are similar characteristics; bravery, selflessness, and consideration. These are very important because it keeps the hero morally just.]]> 2017-04-12 16:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166122509 https://padlet.com/jszczurowski/31mc7evz92k/wish/166122755 I think to be considered a superhero you need to have super powers.
