Christina's Hero

*********

Name one your favorite heroes and tell us why you chose this hero.

I guess I'd have to go with Wonder Woman. She initially emerged in the early 1940s and was a powerful female figure for the time. Her history is nestled within ancient Greek mythology, and she is a powerful example of a female hero. She used powerful items -- indestructible gauntlets forged from Zeus's shield and the Lasso of Truth woven from Aphrodite's girdle -- that helped her on her mission. Even though she now has a complicated and often dark past, I've always admired her commitment to social justice.

If you were an evil villain, what would you name yourself and why?

I'm leaning towards Dr. Grammarina Literats -- close to my name and the only type of villain I could be, a stickler for grammar and language. At times, I can't resist the inner monster that wants to correct my best friend's use of brang (instead of brought) and the villain comes out.

If you were given the chance to steal a super hero’s power, what would it be?

I think I'd like to manipulate time. I would love to travel to different places and different times. The imagination can carry us far, but I'd still enjoy experiencing distinct moments in history.

If you were a super hero, what would your weakness be?

Honestly, mushrooms. I know that there are many mushroom fans out there, so no offense intended. There's just something about them .
