My favorite superhero among them all is Spider-man. There are many qualities that Spider-man possesses that hold my interests and make him number one on my list of superheroes. The most important aspect of Spider-man that makes him the hero he is is the fact that he is still “human-like” despite his powers. By this I mean that he still possess many flaws and imperfections as a character. There are various instances of conflict brought upon Spider-man through his lifetime that make him more relate-able

Compare and contrast essay Billy Englehart What makes Beowulf so dishonest? To start with Beowulf was sent to the land to kill Hrothgar’s evil son Grendel. But Beowulf was so caught up in trying to be “heroic”‚ he started lying to Hrothgar’s soldiers and how he slayed 39 sea monsters!

The struggle between altruism and cynicism plus selfishness. "With great power comes great responsibilities.". These are the essences of Spiderman. Without them‚ it’s not really Spiderman anymore. The new Amazing Spiderman is just a typical boy who’s sort of selfish. The movie tries to push for a new motto of "Know who you are‚" which‚ to me is just euphemism for "What’s best for you is what’s best for everybody.". It’s fair‚ but there’s nothing heroic about that‚ at the heart level. Superheroes
