What Would YOUR Disabled Superhero Be Able To Do?
Silver Scorpion is a Muslim boy in a wheelchair who can move metal with his mind. He’s a comic book character who was inspired by President Obama’s efforts to ‘reach out to the Muslim world.’
Earlier this year, Same Difference featured Echo, the comic character who can’t hear. Her power is that she can perfectly imitate anything she sees. Her love interest, Daredevil, is blind.
Personally, I prefer books and soap operas to comics and cartoons, which is why I write so often about disability representations in these forms of media. However, since there seem to be more and more disabled characters appearing in comics these days, for a bit of fun, I thought I’d ask you: If you could create a disabled superhero, what would be their disability, and what would be their superpower?
I think a girl in a wheelchair that had wings would be quite cool… SuperCrip, anyone?
