Superhero Week

 We have been celebrating Superhero Week this week!

We've been doing lots of fun things like battling laundry monsters and answering "HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAAAAAY!" every time we are called.

We also have been designing characters on index cards for a card game we are making up (as we go along), and, of course, making all kinds of costumes.

My favorite activity, however, has been this one: I traced each of the kids and let them color in the outline as a super hero.  Then we cut them out and taped them all over the house!

This one is Shadowman from Zorg.  He is very strong and skillful, and has the ability to become a shadow. In his shadow form he can move as quickly as a shadow, and he can also become intangible, as well as invisible among other shadows!

This one is Leena's.  She is Acitage!  She  has a gun that shoots a special acid that doesn't effect living tissue.  Thus it doesn't actually hurt evil doers, but it does dissolve non living things like fur and hair.  She also has super spiky boots which she can use to kick people and super spiky bangs which she can also use as a weapon!

 This is Crombie, as described by Choclo.  He destroys all criminals in his path! He's his favorite own self.  He wanted to eat a hundred hot potatoes, but they couldn't hurt him.(?)  His hand is metal.  He has a big dangerous whip. He can pull a spear out of his metal hand and he can scare away his enemies by making a big scary noise!



And this one by Oob does not have a name, but he does fight bad guys. Oob tells me: He's pretty short and he has gems.  The gems don't do anything, they just look nice.  He's a lot powerful.

 This one is Animalass, and she was made by Klenda: She has the power to turn into any animal, and can talk to animals while she's human. 

This hero is by Mxyl: This fellow never had any powers; he was just a relatively average guy who always wanted to be a superhero, but never had the right materials.

He once entered his room and found that one of his CDs was broken.  Out of pure curiosity, he threw the CD at his dart board as though it were a shuriken, and as almost an omen it crashed into the bull's-eye mark, shattering the CD into a thousand pieces!

That moment was an inspiration to him.  It took him years of training, collecting and more-than-slightly damaging CDs to become an entirely new superhero.  His mother fully approved and made him his own costume.  From that moment onward, he was a real-life Batman; a champion of justice; a man whose determination no villain could hope to stop: Broken CD Man!

He wears half of a CD as a mask, and has several gadgets, including grappling hooks (three CD halves make for a perfect grappling claw), and a CD-scrambling device (after he was officially recognized by the public he was given a device that can rewrite CDs to 'say' anything he wants, or just break them.  It's very useful for espionage).
