Inspiration Fridays: Superheroes

Earlier this week, I wrote a post mourning my lack of mutant powers.  It seems, often, that life would be so much easier if, like Cyclops, I could shoot lasers out of my eyes, or, like Supergirl, I could do, well, everything.  I'm inspired by Superheroes not only because of their abilities, which are mostly enviable, but for their passion.  Even superheroes who are morally grey, like Deadpool, sometimes do the right thing just for the sake of doing the right thing.

Because, they want to make the world better.  Superheroes like Emma Frost surprise me even more, because they have gone through transformations, changes of ideals that bring them to a place of wanting to fight for "good."  (I'm also planning on dressing up as her for Halloween).  Batman, with his gadgets, and The Immortal Iron Fist, with his martial prowess.  It's all impressive.  But, it's that fight for the right, the will to carry on against all odds that I wish to emulate.  That's what impresses me.

Maybe, because I want to make the world better, too.

If there was ever a night for the batman symbol to be projected into the air, it was the night that I snapped this photograph.  The fog hung in the air so thickly, it felt like you were walking through honey.  I was covered in a sweat that I knew was mostly condensation.  The top of the Empire State Building was barely visible, and getting a clear photograph was nearly impossible due to the ridiculous amount of water in the air.  It was strangely exciting.  Also, did anyone else know that Gotham is NOT New York City??  On the DC Comics map, it is located somewhere between New York City and New Jersey, meaning that all of this time, Batman has been fighting in... like, Newark or something.  Which is so lame.
