April 2 question

What fantasy character would you like to fight, 
go on a quest with, or have a beer/glass of wine with?

I didn't think twice about selecting a fantasy character as my answer to this question. I would love to fly with Superman! Why wouldn't I? "Superman possesses superhuman strength, speed, flight, invulnerability, and heat vision, among other abilities, all due to his exposure to Earth's yellow sun." 

In case you don't know about Clark Kent, Superman's human side,"he is a humanoid alien refugee from the planet Krypton who lands on Earth, developing superhuman abilities and becoming Superman, Earth's only superhero, while also working as a journalist for the Daily Planet newspaper in Metropolis."

Clark jumps into a phone booth, (remember them?) and in a nanosecond 

he comes out dressed in that tight-fitting Superman suit with the huge S in the middle of his chest. He runs a few steps and then launches into the sky, his cape billowing behind him. 

At that moment, he doesn't care about his job at the newspaper. 

He is on a mission to rescue someone or get the bad guy. In other words he helps people, one of the reasons why I admire the character. 

I think he would be an interesting fellow to hang out with. After all, he writes for the newspaper. That's how I entered the writing world. See? We have so much in common.

But nothing is perfect. Superman's downfall is Kryptonite. So my job would be to keep him safe from that deadly rock. Hmm, I wonder though if he might need that suit and cape washed and pressed once in a while. Yes, I'd be happy to do it for Superman.

I always picture him as Christopher Reeves who played 

the character in one of the many Superman movies.

Now do you see why I'd love to hang out with Superman/Clark Kent? Super powers, hero, smart, handsome, AND a writer!!

Did you choose Superman for your fantasy character??? Please leave your comment below.

Big congratulations on the update of the book!
There have been many playing Superman over the years. While the movies were cheesy, Reeves was one of the best ones.

Natalie Aguirre said...
