Make Your Own Superhero

Ancient Superheroes!
Nowadays there is Superman, The Flash, Aquaman, The Hulk, Wonder Woman, and many many other.  In Ancient Rome, there were superheroes as well, but the Romans called them Demi-gods such as Hercules, Achilles, The Amazons, and others.  If you look closely, there are a number of modern day superheroes who have many of the same qualities as the Demi-gods. For example:

Hercules                                                                              Superman

 

1. Identify your favorite comic book superhero (man or woman) or supervillian (man or woman) since there were indeed bad Demi-gods, and compare he or she to an ancient "superhero."  What similarities do they share?  What are their differences?  Is you superhero or supervillian more of a combination of a number of ancient "superheroes?"

2. For extra credit, try to make your own superhero or supervillian using an ancient Demi-god(s) as your inspiration. Try to draw a picture of what they would look like as well.
