just having a super power is a little like receiving something both awesome and powerful without having to sacrifice for it. Who isn't into that? getting awesome shit without earning it?? that's why people play the lottery.
it's all very similar to the lottery actually. we all wanna be millionaires. we just don't wanna do what millionaires have to do to become millionaires. (work hard, save money, etc etc).
even the conversations about super powers and winning the lottery are awfully similar. people can go on and on talking about what they would do if they did have either. ask almost anyone either question, "what superpower would you want and why?," or, "what would you do if you won the lottery?" and you'll most likely receive a response soaked in joy, authored by an imagination run wild.
comics also offer the super villain option as well. so if your imagination takes you down that darker path, that option remains available.
you can learn a lot about a person through comic books. who do they root for? which characters are they into? the hero? the villain? the loner? the leader? the funny one? or the awkward, brainy genius?
you can almost see in people what they see in themselves through comics. and you can also see inside yourself.
what are you all about?
are you saving the world?
or are you trying to take it over?
here's something i drew right before i wrote this. i call this piece, 'laser beam hand dude.':
