My Healing SuperPowers By Abigail Anokye If I were to have a superpower than I would have healing powers! The type of power that save people’s lives. The type that make the world a happy place. This strong superpower will make everyone on earth the most happiest and sick­free citizens in the universe. I could make the dead come alive and I can also make zombies turn into normal human beings! I mean...if zombies exist! Here are some reasons why I would want the ability to heal One reason that I would have healing powers is to heal people. I would go to every hospital in the world and touch everyone there and heal every single one of them. People with bruises scars, diseases, and comas would be healed by one simple touch of my hand. It will be a huge miracle of how these people got healed. It will be a secret too because no one will know that I healed them. But it will be a relief that they’re well and not ill anymore. Another reason is that when people get healed, they will be happy. They’ll be filled with happiness when they find out that they’re not sick anymore. One thing that they won’t know is who healed them...that will still be a mystery but...at least their healthy and well. The news station would make a new topic all about the miracle of who healed the patients in the hospital. Last but not least, I would want healing superpowers is because, It will save people’s lives. People who are sick or VERY ill and those who are about to die, will get their lives saved by me. No one will feel bad or sad that their family members are dying. Instead they’ll be happy that their relatives are alive happy and very well. So that is why I would have healing powers. It helps people get healthy and hearty. It saves lives, and it would make the world a better place. Healing powers would make the world a wonderful place to live. Happiness will spread all through the world. Although sometimes people may be sad, the world will still stay a sick­free place to live in. Plus the world would be more safe without zombies… if there even real. Those are the four reasons of why I would want healing superpowers! Teleportation By Tala Barghouty If I could have a superpower I would want to be able to teleport. Teleportation is when you can go to any other area in a matter of seconds. You can teleport merely a foot or even 2,000 miles all the way on the opposite side of the world.Teleportation will help me with protection and if somebody would think deeply about it, they would find some very helpful benefits from teleportation. First, if I had teleportation, I would use it to protect me, my family, friends, and others. The numerous situations I could protect others from are war, dangerous positions, and viable accidents. I could always find a way to teleport out of any situation. If I could ever be able to teleport, my life would be filled with joy because traveling would be completely free. For instance, I could imagine myself in Hawaii automatically be shifted within seconds without spending a penny. Also, I would be able help my parents avoid ghastly traffic. Lastly, I would love to pop into a safe zone whenever I am in a dangerous such as a severe storm or an unexpected accident. Teleportation would be very helpful. It is helpful because there is more space in the car if you just teleport and you will never be late unless you don't get ready in time. If I ever need to quickly buy something I can just teleport there, but I will still stay and pay for it. If I could have a superpower I would want to be able to teleport. Teleportation would help me with a lot of important stuff as well as helping others and family. WATER BREATHING What Superpower Would You Have? By: Samantha Beitzel If I could have any one superpower in the world I would pick water breathing. I have always had a desire to keep people safe when they are in the water. I would also want water breathing so i can play in the water. Ariel from The Lile Mermaid could become a reality. Another reason I want to be able to breath underwater is the valuable asset I can be to my community or even the world just like Aquaman! I want to be similar to Aquaman because, Aquaman is on the jusce league, he is strong, he can communicate to dolphins, similar to king triton, and he is played by Jusn Hartley a popular actor. Water breathing would also a lifesaver when someone is drowning or an animal is drowning because you can be a hero by saving animals/person’s life and they will adore you forever and ever. Water breathing is also a very handy because, if you are in the olympics you can win all of the swimming events. You can scuba dive without a air tank to drag with you. I would love to have water breathing because I can feel like a mermaid, just like the Ariel from the lile mermaid! I picked water breathing because, water breathing can help you with everyday things like swimming. It could be useful and/or a lifesaver. And so that is why is picked water breathing! I hope I can get water breathing in the future! Superhuman Intelligence By Swetha Bharat Superpowers are something everybody wishes for. From superheroes to even humans, superpowers are having magical abilities that can change anyone's life into gold. A superpower I desire is superhuman intelligence. The reason this superpower intrigues me so much is because I don’t need to study anymore, I can have a powerful memory, and I can have better calculation skills. I don't like tests. Assessments in school are terrifying because if you make mistakes, you will get bad grades. When I have superhuman intelligence, I don't need to study for tests. I can periodically party all night and complete the test the next day.

    Hi Natural Selection St Mary's psychology department has sent out questionnaires to all applicants for St Mary's Hospital Medical School and four other medical schools in the country. Press reports, originating from a recent article in the Times Educational Supplement, implied that the completion of the questionnaire was in some way linked to the success of an application. Chris McManus, head of the research group which produced the questionnaires, dismissed the allegations, stating that completion of the questionnaire was entirely voluntary. He added that the only applications received by medical schools were UCCA forms and that the list of applicants were merely used to target the mailshot. No information passed between the medical school's application department and his research group, he said. Concerning privacy, Mr McManus said that information gathered from the questionnaire is entirely secure. The data resides on a computer that is not networked, and is separated from the medical school. The questionnaire is part of an ongoing project to determine the attributes of a successful applicant, what makes a successful doctor and whether particular types of people choose particular career paths. The first questionnaire, sent out ten years ago, was followed by further information gathering, including final results and careers after medical school.

  • With a Particular Focus on the Saga of Grettir the Strong, Gisfi Surrson's
    Volume 3: 2010-2011 ISSN: 2041-6776 School of English Studies With a particular focus on The Saga of Grettir the Strong, Gisfi Surrson’s Saga and Nijar’s Saga, discuss the nature and role of the supernatural in Icelandic saga literature and assess the extent to which it reveals a religious significance. Georgina Georghiou At the end of the Viking Age, the Icelanders developed a literary tradition in the vernacular, Old Icelandic, in which the legendary tales of Iceland’s sogooki (the Saga Age, c. 9E1030 CE) were written.’ Hitherto sustained by the oral tradition (hence the designation saga, from segja, to say, tell’), the tales which constitute the islendrgasogur (Sagas of Icelanders, written between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries) journeyed through phases of Iceland’s cultural evolution, most notably its political movement from the Commonwealth to the Norwegian monarchy in 1262 CE, and its religious conversion from Norse paganism to Christianity under the sovereignty of King Olaf Tryggvason (995-1000 CE). Chronicling events which occurred during and after this cultural whirlwind, the sagas in their present form reflect a mystical synthesis of Norse-pagan and Christian conceptions of the sacred, both of which incited a conviction in the Supernatural’. Despite their differences, they commonly present the Scandinavian world as one which interacts with unworldly beings and forces, and whilst this ‘unworldliness’ has contributed to the modern view that the sagas are ‘pseudo- historical’,5 for the medieval Icelander, they were a record of historical truth. The truth’ invested in the supernatural involves it, inevitably, in sacred matters, and the affiliation between the supernatural and the religious has thus been a highly debated topic among saga scholarship.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

  • CAPTAIN MARVEL # History: the History of the Drug Supplier and Cult Leader Known As the Black Talon Is Currently Unrevealed
    BLACK TALON Villain Real Name: Unrevealed. Occupation: Cult leader, drug supplier. Identity: Secret. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States (Puerto Rico) with no criminal record. Other Aliases: The Living Loa, "Chicken-head". Place of Birth: Presumably somewhere in Puerto Rico. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: None. Group Affiliation: Head of his own voodoo cult. Base of Operations: A sugar/cocaine plantation in Puerto Rico. First Post-Reboot Appearance: CAPTAIN MARVEL # History: The history of the drug supplier and cult leader known as the Black Talon is currently unrevealed. At some point in the past, he learned the art of voodoo and put that talent to work in raising zombies to work a farm – in reality a Colonial-era plantation he either inherited or acquired – where he grew marijuana and coca plants alongside sugar cane (the plantation's legitimate crop). At the same time, he began a cult of voodoo worshippers who revered him as a "living loa" (the "loa" being the spirits or gods – the line between them is often blurred – invoked by voodoo practitioners.). In time, he became one of the largest suppliers of marijuana and cocaine in the Caribbean, with contacts in Miami, Havana, San Juan, and New Orleans. Black Talon's operations first came into conflict with the current generation of superheroes when a rocket launched by NASA carrying a payload of a powerful nerve gas to be disposed of by being sent into the sun was sabotaged and landed off the coast from his plantation. This brought him into conflict with Captain Marvel, who was under orders from his superior, Colonel Yon-Rogg, to release the nerve gas on a human settlement (see Captain Marvel; Yon-Rogg).

STATIC, YET FLUCTUATING: THE EVOLUTION OF BATMAN AND HIS AUDIENCES by PERRY DUPRE DANTZLER Under the Direction of H. Calvin Thomas ABSTRACT The Batman media franchise (comics, movies, novels, television, and cartoons) is unique because no other form of written or visual texts has as many artists, audiences, and forms of expression. Understanding the various artists and audiences and what Batman means to them is to understand changing trends and thinking in American culture. The character of Batman has developed into a symbol with relevant characteristics that develop and evolve with each new story and new author. The Batman canon has become so large and contains so many different audiences that it has become a franchise that can morph to fit any group of viewers/readers. Our understanding of Batman and the many readings of him gives us insight into ourselves as a culture in our particular place in history.

  • Handout 1B – Achilles and Superman
    ! ! Handout 1B – Achilles and Superman Achilles The ancient Greek mythological hero Achilles was neither completely man nor god. His mother, Thetis, was an immortal nymph. His father, Peleus, was a mortal king. Those who appreciate modern mythology may wish to think of him more as a “demigod” or “mud-blood.” Thetis, however, wanted the immortality of full-blooded gods for her son, so she held him by the heel and dipped him in the River Styx, whose charmed water cloaked him with invulnerability. Tales of Achilles abound, but his most prominent role is within the epic poetry that chronicles the Trojan War. To the Greeks, some of whom eventually revered him as a “cult hero” in the religious sense, Achilles was an honorable master of war. To the Romans, who hundreds of year later embraced their own, rebooted versions of Greek mythology, Achilles was a cruel, brutal butcher of men. Even within Greek and Roman mythology, details of Achilles’ adventures, and powers, are told differently. Chiron and Achilles. Lithograph after J.B. Regnault Though there is no Cult of Achilles in the U.S. currently, Achilles is a part of us all—in our heels, to be exact. Our weak upper heel area, the “Achilles tendon” is named in honor of the legendary way the hero perished, struck by an arrow in his lone area of vulnerability: the heel which had been covered by the hand of Thetis when she dipped him in the Styx all those years earlier. Superman In a time that seems most likely the early 1900s, a child was born on Krypton, a fictional planet on the verge of collapse.
