The history of Christopher Reeve

When I read these articles, I thought Christopher Reeve was a true hero in the real world.
On May 27, 1995 , he changed everything. Reeve was at a  horse competition in Verginia.
 I n there, he had a gereat tragedy. Then he can't walk forever. But, he has never given up.
And he and his wife,Dana Reeve, opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center.

I was very sad to know this truth for the first time. But he said these words, "I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."
these are keeping in my memory. And I want to live like the person.

Which do you choose better heroes "hero is a someone who commits acourageous action without considering the consequences" or "hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."????

Thanks Real Superman.

The Comment of the article : Superman as the essential American Hero

I noticed that Superman affected many wars; World War II, the Cold War for the first time.
After reading the article, I thought I don't want the American Government to use these comics as weapons for wars.  Also the author of Superman thought "I want many children to read this comic and to be happy".

Some people said,"Hero's story is about fighting against the evils, so it can give many inspiration to fight someone to people. As a result anti-heroes is complaining about creating heroes.

In my opinion, I just love heroes.So, I was sad to read the article.  So, I hope that bad heroes's image is removed all over the world.

The comment of ''Comic Books'' : The American mythology

When I read this article,I  also thought these superheroes ("Spider-Man","Spider-Man2","X-Men","Sin City" and so on...) are in the same tradition  the myths of ancient Greece. Because America has many many different cultures, so American authors can edit a lot of types of movies ,TV shows,and so on. That's why they chose the myths of Greece by accident.

I think all of superheroes stories (American heroes,Greece heroes,Japanese heroes...) are didactic moralism. So,for 2000 years, people all over the world  have been thinking that heroes won the bad guys in the end.
But, Superman fights American society too. Spider-Man and X-Men also fight it.It is so cool!!!
Some people love them,but the other hate them. In my opinion,after reading it,I love them very much!!!!
and I have never watched superman, so I want to watch it and I'll study about American mythology a lot.
