Money is Power
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.

Hellow my fellow blog viewers i will be focusing on the remix of mixing superheroes with players from the NBA. This picture above us relates to our blog theme does money makes super heroes. As we could see in this image we have professional basketball players and super heroes reaching out for the golden glove with championship rings that Kobe Bryant has in his hand. Kobe Bryant could be seen as Iron Man which is why we also see super heroes in this image. The middle top ring could also be represented as the power source that Iron man has on his chest to power his suit and keep him self alive. We idolize and see in many occasions professional athletes as superheroes but we could look up to. Money brings individuals to a higher level in society and also brings fame to them.

This Super Man is the Red Son version his spaceship lands in a Ukrainian collective farm rather than in Kansas. So instead of fighting for the American justice Super Man Red Son is fighting for a never ending battle for the leader of the Soviet Union Stalin and his socialism along with the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact. Super Man becomes a newcomer for Stalin’s inner circle even though he his kind hearted he also dedicated to the cause of communism. When it is possible goes around helping the soviet people  around the USSR.
When Super Man takes off he flies off up in a diagonal line which if we refer back to Molly Bangs How Pictures Work Bangs states that diagonal lines going up in a image refers to hope and faith. If we look down on the image we could see that many people are cheering him up as he flies of that he is seen as a national hero for the Soviet Union commmunity.If we look at the back of the image where the red flags are that is the face of Joseph Stalin A.K.A as the man of steel. During the 1950's was when Joseph Stalin was ontop of the pyramid with most of the power during the Cold War against the United states of America and when his ideology of communism was at the strongest point spreading across the world.

In the Show Arrow Oliver Queen is a rich playboy who his family owns a large company called Queen Enterprises. He left on a ship trip one day with his gf sister and his father and got lost at sea. During 5 years he developed fighting skills beyond his believe and learned how to master the bow and arrow. After his 5 year jorney was over he came back to Starling City as a vigilante called arrow with a mission to get rid of all thoose who failed the city with names on a book his father left for him. The reason he was able to take vengeance upon his own hands and fight crime during the night was because he did not have to worried about money, bills, or any of the necessities that the common person would. All he had was to worry about him self and the names in his book his father left for him. Money really did play a major factor in his role as a super hereo because he had all the resources that money could buy. He had his own arrow cave under his sister night club that they owned along with the best equipment and  technology along with the most qualified girl to operate the equipment. He had some of the best arrows in his kind that are impossible to make and a good team that had to be in a budget in order for them to stay. The reason why he could be a viglante full time was simply because he had all the money he could want to make his crusade.
Interview

The person who I interview is Caucasian, age 25 who has a high intelligible concept of the superhero movie industry.  First question I ask him was what do you think make certain individuals stand as a superhero ?
He responded they are many reasons that make a individual stand out as a superhero. Some people have a destiny to protect and fight for the people around them. Other just have the resources to afford to take on the role on their spare time or full time.
Second question I ask him was do you think that higher class individual's have a higher possibility on taking on the role of a superhero? 
He responded unless the super hero individual isn't from this planet or had some sort of mutant experiment done towards them. So far we have not seen any poor lower class superheroe's uprising from society to take on the roles.
The last question I ask him was do you think that money plays an important role in creating a superhero? 
He responded yes for example and we look at Iron Man he created his own suit that cost over a million dollar. If we look at Ant Man the creator of that suit is also a multi billionaire who owns a company. If we look at the Avengers the one founding the whole at Avengers program is Iron Man. If will look at the fantastic four they are wealthy people with money that gets them the resources, weapons, vehicles and all the accessories they need to fight crime.
Academic Sources
In the article what super hero gets to be a hero ? race and identity in comics talks about how many different supero heroes have more changes than other's. They have more changes than other on becoming succesful because of their ethnicity along with thier identity. Indentity could be seen as multiple aspects. It could be seen as thier wealth richest or social social statues along with thier backgrounds and where they come from. Which ofcourse play a huge advantage over the rest of super hereo's when it comes down to more opportunities of finding fame. How ever, the question if money plays an important factor in a super hero life. Whereas some are convinced that it does. Other maintain that a superhero will raise through good or bad with money or no money when he or she is need it to save the day.
In this picture from Jack Kirby exhibit shows the famous fantastic four comic book. If we examan the picture up closely we could see that they provide hope and secuirty. If we look towards the back we could see that they are the bad guys who are trying to cause choas and destruction. This image realtes to our topic does money create super heros because if we look back to how fantastic four was created we could recall that they were all expedition through space when their powers were given to them when they were hit by some sort of space waves. Point is that they were all in a high social or economic postition that allowed them to obtain the resources and make the expedition through space possible .

Integrating Quotes


n the Article 5 of the Richest Super hero's by Erika Rawes it talks about the back ground grounds and the describtions of the wealthy Marvel characters. The first wealthy super hero they intriduce is Medusa it states, " Medusa is a member of the inhuman royal family and also married to their leader, Black Bolt." Conventional wisdom has it that once an indivudal comes from a in human royal/ wealthy family and espicaly when married to their leader it comes easier to them. To use the resources that thier in human kind already has or has to create with the economic and socail postition they already have to become or stay as a super hero. The secind character that is introduced is Crystal it states, "That Crystal is the princess of the inhumans and Like her sister Medusa, Crystal is a member of the royal inhuman family. Her (Earthly) wealth is virtually unlimited. "Just like her sister Medusa , Crystal is also part of the royal life style she is a princess in the in human society and is clearly pointed out thst wealth is virtually unlimted. Which just like her sister she could give her self the resources to continue saving the world and fighting of crime. The third charcter that was introduced was famouse o mighty Iron Man it states, "As one of the most intelligent and influential people in the world, Tony Stark is much more than your typical billionaire playboy. His earings are roughly $5 billion, comparable to some of America’s highest-paid, real-life CEOs." Iron man spend over 1 Billion on his Iron Man suit alone but when is making 5 Billion to him 1 million is like a $100 for the typical person. He is the founder of the whole Avegeners project so he is taking a group of some of the most known super hero's in the world and taking them under his economical wing. 
Hello fellow viewers the picture i'll be talking about today is Iron Man in a $1 bill. Iron man is the founder for the super hero team the Avengers that fight against intergalactic enemy's forgeign enemies and anything or any one who stand in the way of human kind's survivory. If we look at the $1 bill we will see Iron Man's face instead of our first president of the United States of America President George Washington. The color's used and the line and texture of the drawing of Iron Man's is dark and anger but reflects hope in his eyes. Another thing we could notice is that on the side of the Iron's Man picture where traditionally says The Department of Treasury in a green circle a blue one is written on top along with the name the Avengers indicating that they don't need the Government's money. In other words it is indicating that they are their own super hero's power of law.

In the article The World ‘s Richest Super hero’s relates to my blog topic does money create super heroes? It talks about the value of Black Panther, Iron man, Bat Man, Lex Luther, Dr. Doom, Green Arrow, Professor X and Magneto. Black panther is estimated to be worth $500 BN he runs is own country some where in southern Africa. He owns the world’s entire supply of vibranium and is also the one of the smartest brains in marvel universe. Iron man estimated value is $100 BN he funded the entire Avengers super hero team. He owns one of the biggest companies on the world STARK INDUSTIRES. He also spend over 1.5 BN on is Iron Man suit alone. The mighty Batman estimated value is $ 80 BN Mr. Bruce Wayne owns a multi- Billion dollar company along with a massive mansion with a under ground bat cave. Batman spends over 80 million on his vehicles alone. Lex Luthor estimated value is $75 BN and he owns Lex Corp a multi- billion -dollar company. Dr. Doom estimated value is $ 35$ BN he rules his own country in Eastern Europe. Green Arrow it is estimated value is $7 BN Mr. Oliver Queen owns a multi- billion company and owns stocks in many other rich companies. Professor X estimated value is $ 3.5 BN which he inheritance when he was born. Magneto is estimated to be worth $ 0.5 BN which he has a huge amount of stolen Nazi Gold. That being said many of this so called “ Super heroes” Could give them self’s the luxury to be called such since they have the resources that money provides them for their gadgets, weapons, suits, armory, and vehicle’s.  This is a very controversy topic how ever, is on the question of super hero’s becoming hero’s because of their riches, where as some are convinced that with money or with out money if you have the change to impact the world and become a hero the way is wide open, other maintain that it’s destiny what creates a super hero if it’s your calling sooner or later you will become what your faith has been written for you. This article is a realible source because it was last updated on 2014 which is recent its not out dated. I also did my own research after reading this article and this information giving is accurate to what I also found.

Group Thinking

From Nosa Osarenkhoe 
Luis Arrieta 
Jose Cano 
Nestor Saravia
What does it take to be a Superhero? 

This picture clearly states what our blog is talking about. Batman ,Iron man and Green arrow being humans all have money while superman who is an alien life form doesn't have any money. This is not a coincidence but just a proof that our blog knows what its talking about. Batman, Ironman and Green arrow all need money to maintain their expensive weaponry, gadgets and costumes, and also to live a healthy and comfortable life because they spend most of it fighting crime. Superman on the other hand doesn't have any weapons and doesn't sustain any bodily injuries hence he doesn't need money.d71cd097db5ea7ff9fb4c67e5d20f463.jpg
