For today’s aside, I want to pose a question to all of you: If you could be any comic book hero for just one day, who would you choose and why? It is easy to get caught up in who has the flashiest powers, but I am more interested in the motivation behind your choice.

As for me, I would choose Captain America. Even though he has enhanced abilities, he is still mortal and is guided by a very clear sense of right and wrong. What really resonates with me is his ending in Endgame. After everything he went through, he used the opportunity to go back and live a normal life, eventually growing into an old man. I love the fact that he took the chance to actually marry Peggy Carter and have a family with her. That desire for a quiet, grounded life and a family, despite having the power of a hero, is why he is my pick.

I would love to hear your picks in the comments below after you become a member if you aren’t already one. If you are a member and part of my Discord server, feel free to head over to it to share more about your choice and see what everyone else is saying.
