Unusual Sperheroes

Recently, I led a superhero themed theatre class. First we practiced how common superheroes would walk like Spiderman, Hulk, Batman, Iron Man. Then we imagined how some unheard of superheroes might walk like Toilet Man (who saves the world from clogged toilets), Recycle Woman, and Alarm Clock Man (who saves the world from late sleepers).

I then let them create their own superheroes and asked them to come up with a superhero name, a super power, and what they save the world from.

Here are the most memorable ones:

Swagga Man- he gives people swagga who don’t have any.

I forget what the name of the superhero was, but there super power was that every time they burped a tornado would happen.

Pretty Girl- Her super power was to bring makeup to girls to make them pretty. (Really! Where are these kids getting this from so young?)
