Superheroes, Supervillains, Superpowers, Get The Gist?

I have never run multiple contests at the same time before, but there is a first time for everything and this is it! I am running two other contests, if you care to check them out:

One if for Sunsets/Sunrises - I feel they are one of the most beautiful phenomenon
http://allpoetry.com/contest/2362426

[&&]

One is for The Best [And Worst] Days Of Your Life
http://allpoetry.com/contest/show/2362490

I don't know if any of them will be very successful but I have an abundance of points that I want to give away. Having said that, the points will start low and will go up depending on quality. Honourable Mentions will also, no doubt, be added.

Anyway, for this contest I want anything to do with Superheroes or Superpowers. I really like the idea of Superheroes, whether they are from comic books or everyday life and I want to read poems about them.

You could:

Describe your hero - do they have special powers, what do they do, do they lead a double life, how do they cope etc.

- Write a story (in poem form) about your hero - an epic battle with his/her arch nemesis, a daring rescue, anything like that

- Write about a real person who has changed your life, what did they do

- These are just guidelines, if you have something else, please enter it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Or for the second options, which I think is slightly more interesting:

- Tell me, if you could have any Superpower, what would it be? Would you want to fly? Control time? Have Super Strength? X-ray Vision? Would you be good or evil? Would you be a vigilante, or would you have a team of Superheroes with you?

Again, just ideas, if you have anything else please enter it!


I much, much, much *hint, hint* prefer rhyme

Prewrites are allowed

No more than 3 entries each and only one will win a trophy, no matter how good the others are as I feel this is fairer

Other than that, take care and good luck!
