In the world we live in, we have our own views and outlooks on what makes a superhero.
If you're asked who you call superheroes, then you'd probably will answer with:
1. Batman (My Personal Favorite)
We have Batman, who may not be supernatural such as Spider-Man being bitten by a radioactive spider or have undeniable superhuman abilities such as Superman, but his intellect, physical strength, and mental servitude to fight crime, especially after the loss of his parents in a brutal murder when he was only a child, makes us view him as a superhero.
2. Superman
If you’re looking at someone who is superhuman, or what we also call nowadays an Alien, then Clark Kent aka Superman is the superhero you’re looking for. He has extraordinary abilities that gradually grow from having an indestructible body (really! His body is bulletproof and impenetrable), superhuman strength, vision powers, super hearing, the ability to fly, supersonic speed, and super breath.
Batman and Superman have been some of the most iconic fictional superheroes in the world since their birth and have been a symbolic influence to many of those who have deemed the term “hero.” Although they have become a symbolic influence, we cannot miniaturize those who really deserve to be call superheroes.
We have everyday superheroes living among us.

Jamie Rahn & Jessie Graff
American Ninja Warrior's very own superheroes.

Jamie Rahn owns one of the top elite parkour and ninja obstacle gyms in the country, while Jessie Graff is kicking butt and taking names as one of the best stuntwomen that has filmmakers come across.

Brooke Liebsch
Football's latest rising star, Brooke Liebsch. Liberty, MO's own Brooke Liebsch is the first female quarterback in her school's history. Not only is she a great quarterback, but she's a pretty versatile player knowing how to be a defensive back and a wide receiver when needed. Even with her extraordinary ability, she is currently a sophomore at Liberty North High School in Liberty, MO.
Some of these superheroes are in our own personal realm. They can be our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, family members, friends, acquaintances, and role models. In every case, we can be superheroes ourselves. Everyone has their story with triumphs, defeats, overcoming obstacles, and personal struggles. THIS. This will be their stories unfolding to inspire the rest of us to be our own superheroes.
I can see the hero within you. Be your own superhero.
