Assisting super Powers for Superheroes: Color Kid

Have you ever heard of DC’s Color Kid? He can change the color of anything, allowing him to:

·         Camouflage people
·         Change the color of the sky and ground to confuse opponents
·         Change the chemical nature of things such as kryptonite by changing their color.

Ok, so the ability to change colors isn't on the best superpowers list, and poor little Color Kid will probably never be on a best superpower movies list either, but he may have some potential in combat.

First I want to propose an interesting theory. Color Kid may be able to change regular colors to other colors that our eyes cannot even conceive, similar to a mantis shrimp. This may sound useless, but it may be possible for another superhero to create for him a gun-like gadget or even a space satellite that automatically shoots a massive laser beam guided towards ONLY the new color the moment Color Kid allows that color to exist. Change the color of the enemy and BOOM!

With more skill in changing chemical natures, he may be able to do things such as turn water into green corrosive acid or red hot lava. He may also be able to turn the rocks enemies stand on into quicksand.

Changing Colors may also be worthwhile powers for superheroes that enjoy the company of animals, as a herd of bulls are pretty stable until a bright red target appears.

Lastly, if color kid changes the color of an opponent’s eye to completely black or white, it may affect the target’s sight, possibly even blinding them.


Color Kid. Is he really useless, or did DC miss the potential?


Spiderman Movies, IRL

Pause and imagine for 60 seconds that you are the main character of the Spiderman movies or the main character of movies with Iron Man.

How much of what you imagined actually happened to Peter Parker or Tony Stark in their respective movies?

Take a look at how bad the Spiderman movies would be if it revolved around my life rather than Peter Parker’s.

  1. Like Peter, I would start with making some money through random odd jobs.
  2. Nobody I know is likely to be killed during a crime I end up feeling partly responsible for. Ergo, forget justice, let’s just keep making money.
  3. Due to no distinct villain like a Green Goblin or Lizard causing pleas for a hero, and my stupidly carefree personality; there are only so many buildings I would be able to enjoy swinging around before I end up being discovered and realistically feared by most people.
  4. Feeling bad, I begin to desire to fight for justice. Unfortunately, there are no distinct villains like The Green Goblin, rather unknown/secretive criminals who hide. I would try to help police when I can, but there won’t always be something for me to do, so I’ll keep making money.


This is my incredibly short and vague description of what would likely happen if I were to star in The Superhero Movies such as Spiderman Movies. What would your movie be like? 


How to Know What Comic Books to Buy for the Best Comic Book Characters.

When walking into a comic book store, I know it can be stressful to find a comic book that is fun to read with good artwork and an awesome story. Well I will give advice on great comic books that will be a good start to read for new up and coming comic fanatics.

For art lovers out there that want a great looking comic, I suggest the starting with Green Lantern, it has some of the best comic book art in the DC Comics range. The comic book values are very great because you can buy multiple comics in one hardcover collection making it easier to transport and cheaper to purchase. 


Green lantern himself is one of the best comic book characters because he represents a hero who goes through hardships like killing a huge amount of the green lantern corps when he is possessed by the fear entity, Parallax. Even through all this he becomes better as a person and as a hero. So I suggest getting the comic Green Lantern: Secret Origin. This comic shows how he becomes green lantern and the trials he must surpass to wield the emerald ring.

I also suggest going with Superman Secret Origins (2010) because you can’t go wrong with Superman. This comic shows his life in Smallville as well as his eventual move to metropolis and his evolution into the Superman we know today. He is by far another of the best comic book characters and it is easy to enjoy his adventures.

What comics do you find most entertaining?
