Make Your Own Superhero

Has it ever been your desire to make your own superhero? You may have had the idea swirling around in your head about your character for a long time or just happened to be a little bored surfing online one day? And it doesn't matter who you are... Whether you are the big CEO sitting in his 18th floor office or the tween that really just wants to try out his artistic side, we all have the desire (and the ability) to create and build our own superhero. It says a lot about humans that we all dream of superheroes; wanting to be something bigger than ourselves and maybe even make a difference in the world. A hero is a lot more to us than just a person with super powers.

So if you have the desire and the design, where do you get started? If you really want to make your own superhero there are only a few places to turn. The first stop should be looking up templates on any available search engine. This will turn up some really decent results. You will be able to find ideas, templates, even full programs to create your superhero. You may even find a site that has a character generator to create names and a costume. There are plenty of ways to get started including doing this style search.

You should start to make your own superhero by considering what you like about superheroes. Does your superhero fly, read minds, or time travel? Will he be from now, the past, the future? I say he, but will it be a girl, or maybe an animal with superpowers? Will they have weapons, powers, or just use their mind to manipulate their surroundings? Instead of a man, maybe a machine? Maybe your person isn't a hero at all but instead a villian?

Next, think about your favorite superhero cartoon and why you liked them. I have always liked Spiderman. Now I don't necessarily like the movie series but I really liked the comic book and the "New Adventures of Spiderman" tv series that ran about 12-15 years ago. He was just an average guy that got bit by a spider and that is why he was my favorite. I also thought he had a pretty good sense of humor. I also liked his supervillian enemies.

Maybe you would like to design a superhero like Batman or Superman? Is it because Superman flies or because Batman drives a really cool car? Do you like Wolverine because he has blades that come out of his knuckles or because he heals so quickly? Maybe you like Professor X because even though he is in a wheelchair, he is stronger than any other of the X-men because of his mind?

You should also consider how involved you want to be as the creator when making your own superhero. This involves deciding which program to use. Do you want just a picture design of your character or do you want to create your own superhero figures with a personality to go along with it? Will your superhero have a life story and an adventure too? Will you create friends and enemies of your superhero or do you just want it for your personal satisfaction? Neither a yes or no answer to the above questions are wrong but you may want to consider how greatly you want to be wrapped up when you build your own superhero.
