Iron Man
Iron Man’s alter ego of Tony Stark—wealthy playboy inventor, owner of Stark International, and international arms manufacturer—was partly based on the wealthy inventor, business mogul, and defense contractor Howard Hughes. In Marvel’s early days, much was made of the company’s creation of “heroes with problems,” and Stark’s problem was potentially fatal: while demonstrating some new weapons in the jungles of Vietnam, he is injured by a bomb and captured by a Viet Cong warlord. With his life ebbing away, Stark is forced to work for his captors, creating new weapons, but unknown to them he secretly builds himself a high-tech suit of armour that will both keep him alive and make him a walking arsenal. Once in the gray clanking suit, Stark defeats the warlord and returns to the United States to assume the role of a superhero, but his tragedy is that he can never remove the chest plate that keeps him alive. To compound his dilemma, the armour needs constant recharging and has the unfortunate tendency to run out of power at the most inconvenient moments, usually in the middle of a pitched battle.

My favourite superhero
Spider-Man is my all-time favorite superhero. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Spider-Man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962. From his iconic costume to his witty humor and spider-like abilities, there's something about this character that resonates with me on a deep level.

An inspiring evening
I was in a very cheerful mood last Monday evening. There was a gentle drizzle falling outside, instead of the usual downpour of rain that I always heard making a pitter-patter sound against the window sill. The absence of thunder also came to me as a pleasant surprise.

The play
“You’re going to do great, Pam!” Dahlia, my younger sister wished me luck as mum handed me my script. After quickly gulping down a glass of orange juice to wash down my breakfast, I waved them both goodbye as I walked to school revising my lines over and over again. As nervous as I was, it was still an exciting thing to be a part of.
