Create Your Own Superhero or Super Villain

Here’s What To Do

1. Answer the following questions and create your own Superhero/Villain. 2. Based on your answers come up with a Costume Design and a Monologue. 3. You will be presenting your character when we return.

Questions:

1. The Basics: Human Name, Age, Job (or school grade), favorite food, least favorite food, pet peeve, greatest strength, greatest weakness, and a secret (other than his/her concealed Superhero/Villain identity.) 2. The Background: Does your character come from a single parent household? Are they an only child? Orphan? Write FIVE sentences on your character’s family background. Who is your character’s closest friend? Do they know your character is a superhero/villain? 3. Origin Story: When/how/why did your character become a superhero/villain? How did they get their powers? 4. Superhero/Villain basics: a. Name. Why this name? b. Power. What can your character do? c. Flaw. Even Superman was allergic to kryptonite. Give your Superhero/Villain a flaw. NOTE: “No Flaw” is not acceptable, flaws are interesting! d. Costume. Why this costume? What does the costume do? e. Prop. Is it car? A ring? A staff? 5. Personal feeling: How does your character feel about his/her powers? Like? Dislike? Lucky? Cursed? If your character could go back to being normal, would they? Why or why not? 6. Outside Feelings: How does the city feel about your character? Trust? Or Distrust?

7. In Action: Write a monologue about this character. It could be an average day in the life of this character and all the trouble he or she gets into. It could be about the first time this character uses his or her powers. The monologue should be about 1-2 minutes long. Be creative and have fun with this. 8. Figure out how this character walks, talks, moves, stands. How will you perform this monologue? Maybe you use your phone to vlog about your time off in the character of your superhero or supervillain. 9. Draw a costume design for this character using color. Be creative!
