Q&A for How to Become a Real Life Superhero

If you do not reveal your identity, it's fine. Don't name your channel after your superhero name, and don't wear your superhero suit on video.

You should choose someone who has been your closest friend for a while. Someone who can stand up to bullies at school, boss around, and defend well. Also, someone who is good at keeping secrets.

Turn them into the police department, because if you make your own prison, you would be arrested for taking hostages.

Of course! Superheros do other things beside fight crime; they also help people. Try volunteering at soup kitchens or helping the elderly. If you have a superhero costume, you can even get together a group of friends, and visit a children's hospital. Children love it when superheros visit them and interact with them because it makes them forget their illness for a while.

Parkour requires physical strength. Before you start going jumping on buildings and climbing over them, get physically fit.

If you are a good leader, then yes. If not, try finding a good leader for your team. Make sure you have a memorable name, like the Guardians or the Red Defenders so that people can easily know who you are and remember you. Last but not least, have a symbol that represents your team well.

You can just improvise and use some old T-shirts, scissors, and a sewing machine.

It is highly recommended. It is also a good cardio workout. If you are chasing a evildoer, you want to be as fast as possible.

Yeah. There's no shame in having to call the police. They have rights to carry guns so they can take down the bad guys a lot faster, and they have real equipment.

Carry a pack with regular clothes in it. Go to a public restroom and change into your regular clothes before heading home.

Stick with non-lethal weapons (no guns!). Also, look at the laws of the areas or cities that you will be patrolling. Don't forget, if there is a college campus, sometimes not even pepper spray or tasers will be allowed on campus grounds, so make sure that you are never carrying something that could mistake you for a bad guy.

The first rule of superheroes is to never tell anybody your identity, no matter what. If they turn against you, then they would tell other people.

Choose an adjective that describes you. For example, if you are strong, your superhero name could be "Mighty" or something similar.

It's hard for someone else to make that decision for you. Try thinking of one that matches the suit and colors.

Use some old t-shirts, scissors, and some stretchy and flexible fabric like nylon. Attach them with a sewing machine or fabric glue.

You can choose whatever job you want; you don't have to have a specific job to be a superhero.

It's definitely going to be beneficial, but it depends on your skills. If you aren't flexible, you'll probably need to make up for it with extra intelligence or handy gadgets.

Don't tell anybody, including best friends, that you are the superhero. If people find out, they may tell others.

Either find a way to convince them otherwise, or trust them with it.

You can if you have a permit and the weapons are legal, but many superheros save the world without the use of weapons.

You should call the police. It could be dangerous to get involved yourself, but just walking away isn't a good idea.

If you are really committed to changing and overcoming your criminal past, yes, you can still be a superhero.

Make a slight change in the outfit like a different logo and different mask.

You could, but it would probably look better if you at least had a suit.

It depends on your super power. For example, Spider-Man's costume has a spider on the front. Or Super-Man's had a big "S". So try to make the design something that reflects your power. If your power was breathing underwater, it might be blue or green, maybe both. But remember to always keep your face covered.

Yes; never lie to police officers. If your identity is really at risk, then tell them your superhero name.

So criminals don't assassinate you. A criminal could see your cause and hurt or kill you.

Have a friend help and draw inspiration from other superheroes (both in real life and in the comics).

Everyone has weaknesses. Pay attention to their fighting style, find a weakness, and exploit it. If you know you are definitely over matched, run away and live to fight another day.

Dedication, willingness to help anyone regardless of things like race, sexuality, political standpoint, the ability to keep calm and friendly even in awful situations, and willingness to work with and listen to the police.
