Superhero- The Dragon Boy

I want to create a Superhero named “Dragon Boy”. He is a 10 years old boy who always image one day he can became a Kung fu master to befriend the weak and the poor. The Dragon boy lived and grew up in remote mountains of Ming China which was 500 years ago from now. His parents both past away, when he was a baby. An old monk adopted him and growing him up in the temple. He did not have any friends or coevals who can play with him around the temple when he was young. One night, he saw his master practice Kung fu in the deep forest alone. Before that, he did not know his mater was a Kung fu superior at all. After that night, he started sneakily follow his master to the forest and learned Kung fu from him. One day, five soldiers intruded the old temple and try to force the old monk to offer 100 pounds rice as the combat food to the military. Old monk press soldier's suit and told them that no matter how the temple can not take out these rice. Soldiers became so angry and started to beat up the old monk. In this moment, Dragon boy decide to use the Kung fu he learned to fight back. However, he could not successfully defeat these soldiers and their guns. One soldier lost his patience and started to shot the old monk and Dragon boy. In this rush hour, the old monk used his qigong break all the guns that soldiers has and all the soldiers were run away. However, the old monk also was badly hurt after that. Before he dead, he told the Dragon boy that the reason he did not fight back earlier is because he does not want easily kill people even they are bad. He also told the boy that on the beam of roof, there has a Kung fu secret guide book. If Dragon boy follow the book and practice, he will got the trick of the dragon fist. At the end, he told Dragon boy that he should use Kung fu to protect people but not to bully and humiliate other people. That is the limitation of the Kung fu that Dragon boy learned from him. After Dragon boy practice the dragon fist from the book, he decides to leave the mountain to help people in the outside world. When he helps people, he usually could beckon a huge blue dragon to defeat the enemies. However, when people want to pay him to use his Kung fu to against with their own enemies, the blue dragon no longer come out. Dragon boy wears his old frock and hold his stuff walk betwween different towns and cities to punish evil-doers and praise good-doers. This superhero actually came from common people. Moss essay and Barker's article both try to explain that the really superhero actually only live in people's expectations. People created the figures of superhero with their own hope and expectations. The superhero should have common people's particularities but also need to have some kind of super power to represent and protect the commons. They are superheros but they also come from the people. They have something that common people do not have, but they represent the justice that common people believe in the final analysis. Without Dragon boy, the world is hard to find a hero to maintain the justice and equality. The dragon boy actually identify himself as a superhero to help everyone who need help. However, he mainly focus on how to take care of the weak and the poor without hurt from social inequality and injustice. That is the purpose that I create this superhero.
