Hello again fellow CBMer's, some of you may have caught my two previous articles on the round up of Marvels Phase one, and my ideas on the sequel for Captain America 2. As always I enjoy the feed back from you all, and I believe each time I jot down one of these articles I get a little better each time, thanks to you all...


Whether you are flipping through the pages of a Marvel or DC comic, or fantasizing about ripping through the air like superman, or sitting down crunching on popcorn waiting for the next best CBM to screen before your eyes, we realize at one point or another that these things have become a major part of our lives. The only question now is, how much of an impact does it leave in our hearts? And is it enough to change our morals or ideals of the violence and sometimes daunting reality of our world?

I believe that comics and movies have saved my life at one point in time or another, the decisions I made, and how it affected me left me to become a stronger person. Can you ask yourself what your life would be like without these things. What would the world be like without the idea of a superhero?

In light of tragic events that happen all over the world, when do we stand and say, we can be better people, that we can be the heroes of our generation, and that the same inspiration we draw from comics, movies, and heroes is etched in our hearts and our minds to teach to future generations.

What hero do you take inspiration from? For me it's Captain America, not because of what he represents but because of the natural leader he is.

And what are your opinions on the state of our world now and how comics or movies can help inspire others through difficult situations.

Thank you for reading. And thanks in advance for your feed back...

I take inspiration from multiple different heroes for different things. Captain America and Superman are one type, they always do what's right. They're both perfect examples of a true hero and theyre both natural born leaders, they're guys you look up to and want to be like.

Guys like Spider-Man and Hulk can be inspirational in a way, like when it seems that the entire world is against you. You still have it in you to do the right thing.

Other guys like Wolverine, Juggernaut or Ant-Man you can take inspiration from in the sense that just because you screwed up back then, doesn't mean you can't do the right thing NOW!

Others like Batman or Daredevil, are guys you could be inspired by in the sense that hard work and dedication actually do pay off. That when you put your mind to something and actually work at it non stop. You can overcome impossible odds.



Others like Punisher, Aquaman or Iron Man for instance you aren't rally inspired by, they're just really cool ;)

Superman is really the one who represents the ideals of superheroes and made this concept mainstream. Not cap america or batman or spiderman. Superman is the one that made this happen.
