Does The Super Hero make The Money? Or Does The Money Make The Super Hero?

Does The Super Hero make The Money? Or Does The Money Make The Super Hero?

In the comic industry and in society today you see the value that money provides you with. The diversity you make to become a super hero it would get you the latest gear that technology can offer viewing this from a super hero’s point of you. You would want to be the man or female that cannot be destroyed. In society today you see billionaires become super heroes, because money gives them the option to do whatever they want with it. In this blog my group and I would be focusing on how in the comic industries, and in society today money is the resource needed to become a super hero. A variety of examples are shown to us that makes us reflect on that specific super hero, or in that specific individual in society. The effect that has in us is that you would want to be that Batman, Captain America, and that Donald Trump. This is a necessary topic that needs attention, because not everyone is a billionaire, or with valuable expensive gadgets. This is not a matter of individuals, but nation wide how do we as a country manage our financial stability. Being rich person and a super hero isn’t so different. To be straightforward you’re sitting on top of the world with all that merchandise.

In the film and comic industry and in society now in days money plays an important role in the resources once has. Along with the abilities the resources could allow you to reach. With money a person could create it’s own combat gear or weapons along with a new identity. When they are under cover playing their double life as a super hero fighting crime. For example if we look how batman Ironman and Arrow become super hero’s would they had actually been able to be who they are with out the resources that their riches has provided them. As a billionaire or even a millionaire the world is your playground to explore to build and to discover. The sky is the limit and at times not even the sky is a limit anymore. Many times this multi billionaires individuals having money isn’t enough for them they want to leave a legacy behind and what better way would that be to be a super hero.

Bored? Become A Hero!

Hello fellow readers today I will focusing on a other blogger relates to my topic. Many superheroes without power gain their wealth by inheriting it, that's what Alyssa Rosenberg states in her article, Superheroes And Inherited wealth v. Supervillian Entrepreneurs. Alyssa states that every superheroes inherit their health and that supervillians don't. They become Entrepreneurs, they work for what they want ,which is wealth. Unlike Arrow he got his father business. Alyssa talk how people become into superheroes because one the "inherited wealth and hasn’t had to work, acquiring superpowers or a sense of responsibility that leads our hero to fight crime". They find another way of feeling those responsibility if they are capable of it. She also mention that ," that the hero must wield enormous power in order to effectively perform the superheroic function", and i agree with her because without the power to become powerful that cannot be accomplished with their health. Also that superheroes use their health for a good cause,"accumulate vast sums of money because they’ll channel it for public benefit", that what also cause them to be show as heroes because they not only use that money to buy new gadgets like the arrow but also to use that money to save people .

                  Hello my fellow audience this week we will be focusing on the fact that Iron Man could be anyone, but you have to have money to support that decision. In the Daily Mail news article, " U.S. Special Forces to be given air-conditioned Iron Man suits with hydraulics to make soldiers run faster, "published by Jill Reilly in her analyze she concluded that Special Forces Command, Adm. William McRaven has given the opportunity for military personnel to be given an, " Iron Man Suit." Throughout the news article that commander suggested that it would be call a, "Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS)." In the article Admiral McRaven states, " The suit would be designed to enable soldiers to carry large loads as well as having layers of smart materials fitted with sensors," the military has a variety of equipment options to move objects from place A to place B. You don't need necessarily an TALOS suit that will cost a fortune to make. Admiral McRaven claims, "He is calling on the technology industry, government labs and academia to help build what is being dubbed as the Iron Man suit in reference to the Marvel Comics character Tony Stark, an engineer who builds a rocket-powered suit and becomes a superhero," rests upon the questionable assumption that Iron Man is a true superhero with that the intelligence and money to support him. By focusing on TALOS suits, Admiral McRaven overlooks the deeper problem of the major debt the country is in and would create a bigger problem. Instead of being a part of the solution he's going to create a more of a debt then what we already are in. In Admirals McRaven's view, " TALOS is completed with the desired specifications it will 'take a group of guys that are extremely high functioning on the battlefield and make them completely unstoppable," yes the suit will provide safety to our military personnel, but what happens to our country in need of desperate resources. Admiral don't you think we should care of our people in our country first? As shown that everyone wants to be Iron Man but the resource of money and intelligence is indeed needed to do so.

Hello everyone and welcome once again to our humble blog. The picture above is one showing the superhero "Batman'' , he is standing on a pile of money, two money bags besides him , and some dollar notes in the air (probably hundred dollar bills given the quantity he is standing on), saying '' I DON'T NEED A JOB'' . The picture clearly talks about the fact that Batman is a rich superhero who has a lot of money and so can afford to become a superhero and not have to go to work like every other person.
     The whole picture might look unrealistic but it does have a realistic point of view in the fact that if Batman wasn't rich, he'd have no other choice but to get a job so he could survive and therefore he wont have the time and opportunity to become a superhero. The curved line on the right side of his head signifies him speaking, and the whole picture is shaped in a rather childish square-ish manner. The blank space around him signifies that there is probably not anymore to show in the picture and the yellow background signifies joy, happiness, and satisfaction.

The Man


            
     Hello fellow viewer , I hope you guys having a wonderful day and today for this post I will be talking about my visual analysis. In this Picture the Arrow is holding his bow back like he is going to shoot it, "A diagonal strut holding in place a vertical stud and horizontal beam is in tension"(47) his action is causing a lot of tension with his body position and the bow. His tension is showing us how he is going to shoot someone . Arrow is in the middle in the picture, this tell us a lot and this is showing us  "the center in the page is more effective"(62), and that correct because in this picture Arrow is center he is the main focus or the audience. The audience can tell by look at this photo that he is about to get in a fight with one of his enemies. Hope you enjoyed it and come back for more content.

Visual Image Analysis of Iron Man

            Hello my fellow viewers! Welcome back to our blog, “ What Makes a Super Hero?” This week ill be focusing on a picture of Iron Man, and interpret what it is communicating to us. Iron Man in this picture illustrates to us that he is fighting crime to safe us all from evildoers. You can see that the city is falling apart towers collapsing diagonally, asteroids hitting the city, and only one super hero trying to safe the day standing tall. In the book, “ How Pictures Work,” by Molly Bang emphasizes in a particular section of her book (Pg. 62) that when an object, person, or thing is the main attraction of the picture you analyze the figure in the picture first and then you move your eyes elsewhere around the figure. When Bang said, “ Our emotional response depends on the context, but the fact remains that it is difficult to take our eyes from the center and move them around the page,” it helps us comprehend the promotion of Iron Man and his daily job as a super hero. Other then iron man what automatically catch’s my eyes are the bright lights that he has in his chest, and in the palm of his hand. Iron man being the center of attention in this photo it makes us focus on him and everything else after. The color of the sky that turquoise looking with bright yellow in the bottom left corner of the picture makes me assume that the world is in a need of help. The background where Iron Man is standing makes us the audience assume that the community was in a place of instability. The dark colors of the pictures seems like there isn't any hope until Iron Man plays his role.  Iron man looks like he is determined to do whatever it takes to destroy the evildoers that are trying to harm the lives of innocent civilians. The purpose of this picture is to establish a  message to the immortal people that there is someone that will stand along the side of justice.

Is Money The Real Power

Money takes a big role in some Superheroes lives,a blog I found that talks about that to is   5Reasons The Non-Superpowered Superhero Thing Is Bullshitby Jason Iannone. He talk about five different topic ,Endless, Obscene Wealth, ludicrously genius intellect, Mastery Of Every Fighting Style Ever Invented, Modern Medicine Makes Them Super Anyways, and Peak Physical Condition about non-super powered heroes. I will only focus on Endless, Obscene Wealth because it relates to my topic. Basically it takes a lot of money for a person to become a superheroes. The reason he states that is because all the gadgets they use cost a lot of money to developed and if this were to happen a person must be extremely rich to become a super hero, Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne have done that only because they both have very successful business to maintain their company from falling to the ground by wasting all that money in there equipment. The real power they have is money nothing else because money make their gadgets and without the gadgets they aren't superheroes.  There are many other superheroes that have money and are able to become hero, like Arrow, Proffesor  Charles X and T'Challa. We will be talkingbout some of these later in our blog so take tune for more.

summary of super hero and body image

Summary
The blog on superheroes and body image explains and gives us information of how body image or specific body has to do with being a super hero. It explains how certain people are chosen to play parts of a super hero and how height, body weight are majorly considered.

My view on the post
Personally, i agree with the blog talking about super heros and body image. A particular super hero has always being known for his specific body image , a skinny guy would never fit to play superman role, nor a fat guy. The world has the body type of superheros in their mind already and so whenever there is a drastic change, it will most likely not be welcomed well.

In the blogs, “These Are the 5 Richest Superheroes,” by Jacob Davidson, and “ Is Batman Really A Superhero?” by Drew Magary emphasize that wealthy individuals have gotten the recognition of superheroes undeservingly. Both blogs are designed to focus on Batman as an example and the wealth that he posse. They stress that Batman, as many other superheroes don’t have what it takes to be an actual hero, and fight evil without gadgets. Jacob Davidson highlights in his blog the amount of money that Bruce Wayne also known as Batman is worth. It spotlights that the man behind Batman is able to afford gadgets and karate training to be able to perform as a superhero. When it comes to the topic of superheroes, most of us will readily agree that Batman is a true superhero without his devices. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of if gadgets don’t make a superhero what does? Whereas some are convinced that a superhero should have gadgets to protect civilians against evil, others maintain that not necessarily you have to have all these expensive pieces of technology to earn the status of a superhero. I agree with the two blogs presented as evidence that Batman and other superheroes aren’t really what they picture. If it weren’t for his bat mobile and other devices that he has he wouldn’t be able to fight Spiderman, The Hulk, or Joker. The money makes the superhero when it should be the other way around the super hero making the money. So we can see my fellow audience that money is a necessary resource that superheroes need.
