Hello my fellow blog viewers this weak ill develop a critical analysis of iron man. Also, I will develop an argument that iron man indeed is a myth. Throughout the previous blogs I have presented the argument that some superheroes have indeed bought themselves their heroic attributes. This week ill present you with a broader perspective what would happen to those that bought themselves their heroic abilities but then had them taken away. Iron man being the most obvious personnel that we can identify utilizing money and technology to purchase expensive gadgets, but what would happen to some of these characters wouldn’t have the ability to buy these things they would only be normal civilians like you and I are. Images and videos of fraud superheroes that money provides them a with a false characteristics of heroic attributes what would happen to him or her if they can no longer have those powers. The most obvious answer would be that him or her would only become one of us.

            Hello my fellow bloggers this week I have found a Peer Review article that would emphasize that money makes a superhero. In the article, “ Batman’s Back,” by Leslie Gray Streeter gives us various options that makes us comprehend the role of money plays has a huge impact on superheroes. In the article it states, “Batman’s only internal power is his pain and survivor's guilt, supplemented by the nifty gadgets and armor supplied by Daddy's money.” Streeter makes us realize that money is what makes batman a superhero. She also compares and contrasts the different scenarios when he has had to face villain, but has had to rely on his gadgets to safe the day.
         Overall her argument is well organized and affective because she gives statistics about the past of batman to his future. Streets argument is very persuasive the examples and scenarios she illustrates to us throughout the article support her argument that without money Batman wouldn’t be who he is. What I suggest to Ms. Streeter is that if she stated the gadgets he used in detail it will support her claim even more. The example she provides makes us the audience look at batman in a way that makes us doubt his heroic persona.

          Hello my fellow blog viewers this week we will focus on Jacky Kirby's comic collection. This photo was taken in the Jack Kirby exhibit in CSUN and we will create an analysis of what the picture physically means and what is it trying to interpret to us the audience. We will also use, " How Pictures Work" by Molly Bang to support our claim. You can see visually that the Fantastic Four are fighting crime against the criminals lifting the rock. In the the perspective of our blog you see that there well equip with designer uniforms and with an incredible hulk per say made of rocks. Provided the fact that aren't really human like the statement above states that there superheroes. One can say what is it that makes them so confident to face the evil doers on top of the mountain? Given the chance to be apart of an elite force like the Fantastic Four the confidence given by physical appearance and the powers given by scientific genius that money can provide assures you the confidence that you can able to accomplish or defeat those evil doers. They look confident in the picture even though they are in a place of trouble. In the book Molly Bang states, " Rolling hills and rolling seas, boulders, rivers-but our earliest and strongest association is with bodies, especially our mother's bodies, and when we were babies, there was no place more secure and full comfort"(Bang 71). The confidence is given by the attributes given by the scientific intelligence. Thank you for tuning in this week see you guys next week with a different topic of money making superheroes.
