Price of all Sayians



This next character that I am about to introduce is not like any of the other characters that I have disrobed before. He is one of few characters who have been both a villain and a hero. Vegeta is a great superhero because despite him once being an evil and him tending to cross back over a few times as his character develops, he still is a protector of the earth and its people. Vegeta, who is also known as “the Prince of all Sayians,” is extraterrestrial humanoid race who were known as the strongest warrior in the universe. Vegeta has a family, is extremely stubborn, and has a difficult past. Just the mixed traits you would want to see in a superhero.
How could Vegeta be consider a great superhero if he was once a villain and tends to cross back over from time to time? How can a hero desire immortality and to be the strongest being in the universe? As I said before, Vegeta was indeed once a villain and did sometimes cross back over. Vegeta was a part of a dominant race who strived for power, and when he was defeated by the evil Frieza, while trying to he was already trying to destroy the earth, he decided to switch sides and become a protector of the earth and its people. Yes Vegeta did desire immortality and does want to become the strongest being in the universe, but as a Sayian, it’s in his blood line to feel that way. It’s not easy being the one of the strongest warriors alive.
Vegeta is also an extremely stubborn guy. He is a part of a team made up of other Sayians and extraterrestrial beings, and tends to keep his distance from them. He trains alone or with his son Trunks, away from the other heroes. He tends to compete with his rival Goku, who is the leader of their team, and sirs pass his power. Through frustration, Vegeta tends to be selfish and arrogant. Despite that, when it comes down to the earth and its people being is then protect them.
Despite his difficult pass and is stubbornness, Vegeta is also a family man. He has a wife, as well as Trunks, named Bulma. Although he might not always so it, he does care for her. Vegeta trains Trunks to be as great as a fighter as himself and beyond that, and to protect others instead of harming them. Together they help the others keep the world safe. In conclusion, Vegeta is a hero who cannot be measured. His character has grown to be something great. Vegeta truly is the “Prince of all Sayians.”

Hells Angel

This next character that I am going to talk about was not necessarily a superhero. Spawn was a great superhero that was actually a demon that fought for the good and not the evil. He was once a man named Al Simmons, that was killed by his boss and sent to hell, that made a deal with a demon named Malebogia to be reborn as an undead “ hell spawn “ in order for him to see his wife one last time. Simmons was returned to earth not as whom he once was but as badly disfigured body. His face and body was cut up from scares and burns. To hide his ugly marks, he wore a skin tight costume with a cape that in irony caused him to still look somewhat scary.


How can Spawn be considered a superhero if he was a demon? If Spawn was sent to hell and he made a deal with a demon, wouldn’t that make him out to be a bad person? Simmons was indeed sent to hell, but it was only because of the work that he did for his boss. He was actually a good honest person. Spawn is considered a superhero because he didn’t lead Malebolgia’s army. He fights for the city against the supernatural demons and other criminals to keep the Pease on the streets and people from harm as a source of his humanity.

Although Simmons is a part of the undead and, as Spawn, a protector of the streets, he has tremendous struggles. When he had returned to earth, it was five years time past, and his wife had remarried to his best friend and they had a daughter. Simmons struggles with his frustration of wanting to be with his wife, but tries to accept that she is happy with her family. He finds it hard to understand how his best friend could marry his wife after he was killed. But in despite of his frustration, he looks over them keeping them safe and away from harm. Spawn truly is “Hells Angel.”

Man of Steel

Another phenomenal superhero is Superman. Superman was born named Kal-El and is from the planet Krypton. He was sent to earth as a baby, by his scientist father, because his planet was going to e destroyed. Superman was raised by a farmer and his wife, and considered them to be his real parents even though he knew that they weren’t. They named him Clark Kent and raised him to be a wise young man with good morals. Clark discovered that he had superpowers through puberty like most superheroes. And like most superheroes, his powers varied.
Some people feel that Superman was a sorry excuse for a superhero. He is one of the few superheroes who died. How can someone be bulletproof and die? It was told that Superman died in combat after destroying an unstoppable killing machine named Doomsday. Truth is he never died. He was put in a regeneration matrix in the Fortress of Solitude. When the city of Metropolis was attacked by a cyborg and in need of help, Superman returned from the Fortress of Solitude and destroyed the cyborg.
Clark Kent was indeed a superhero, but he did have super struggles. He struggled a lot with trying to figure out what exactly happened to his home planet besides the fact that it was destroyed. He wondered what was it like there and what was his birth parents like. When he returned to his home planet, all he found was debris of kryptonite. He also struggles with Lex Luthor who at some point in time became an enemy of his but with all that aside, Superman truly is the “Man of Steel.”

They are made up of mutant superheroes that were born or scientifically created as mutants. The mutants usually develop there powers and abilities through puberty. They learn how to use and control their powers and abilities through a school run by Professor Charles Xavier. Through his school, the teenage mutants improve their minds as well as their powers, and it gives them a fare chance in life.

In society, mutants are mostly viewed as a threat or danger to civilians. Mutants such as Magneto and The Brotherhood of Mutants tend to be the reason for that due to there chaos and destruction that they cause on the world. Professor Charles Xavier teaches his mutants to overpower and fight against the destruction rather then for it. He gives them a choice to show society that not all mutants are evil.
All of the professor’s mutants are given a choice on wheatear they want to fight against the destruction or be apart of it. Wolverine, who is one of the few whom chosen to be apart of the X-Men, is a prime example of this. Logan, who is Wolverine, was born with the ability to heal himself. He has encountered the evils of civilians of society and how society itself can be evil. With the help of Professor Charles Xavier, Wolverine chooses to fight for the civilians despite of what they have done to him and how they might act.
