How you can build your own superhero universe with heroes that help YOU become who YOU want to be?
Superheroes come in different shapes and forms
We're going to build our own universe - our favorite people, creators, industry leaders and everyone who has an influence in our lives.
You've heard of Marvel movies by now, or at least Spiderman๐ธ.
The Marvel Universe is a fictional shared universe where the stories in most American comic book titles and other media published by Marvel Comics take place. - Wikipedia
Where am I going with this?
There are a LOT of heroes in the Marvel universe and each of them has
An origin story
Strengths and Weaknesses
Reasons why we love one more than the other (Captain America in case you're wondering)
There's an entire database that tracks all these heroes and have complete details about them
Here's what you can do - Create your own database of heroes
In the same way, you have people in your life who you know personally, or follow on different platforms. Here's are some examples based on mine:
Richard Feynman.
Superpower: Burning curiosity ๐ฅ
What inspires me: Ability to break down complex concepts to the level of a 5-year old ๐งฑLewis Hamilton.
Superpower: Elite mental strength ๐โโ๏ธ
What inspires me: Consistent racing career ( I've followed throughout) ๐There are a few people who inspire me to a great deal and I try to pick specific attributes from them that I look back on when I need motivation, reminders of my values or just someone to look up to.
The last (fun bit):
Keep adding things you learn about them that you like
Embed articles, videos, quotes, interviews etc.
You can use an application like Notion, OneNote, PowerPoint (๐)
Revisit, Read, Update, Understand and Apply.
โWe love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.โ โ Grant Morrison
