6) "Favorite super hero and why", or, Super heroes soar high, share hopes, save humanity


I've never been into the standard superhero scene too much.  Batman's pretty cool; I like all the cool gadgets he has.  Spider-Man is pretty awesome, too; his acrobatics and mode of transportation speak to my own love of jumping and climbing (trees, rocks, buildings, anything) :)

Really, though, my favorite superhero is this guy:
















Wishbone was one of my favorite shows as a kid.  Wishbone was a very honorable and moral dog and had grand adventures both at home with Joe, David, and Sam, as well as in his recreations of the stories of classic literature.

One definition of super hero is, "a benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers, such as Superman."  Wishbone is practically a paragon of benevolence and his superhuman powers include his polymathic repertoire of detective (Sherlock Holmes), explorer (Odysseus and many others), scientist (Frankenstein), spirit (Ariel), and god (Hercules).  That's one awesome superhero!
