National Superhero Day!

Who is your favorite superhero? Or maybe you have a side to you and you favor the villain's. Another question: What is better Marvel or DC?

I am a huge fan of both and love the movies and cartoons. My son is all about superheroes so we always read comic books and chapter books. What a fun day to dress up and have some superhero excitement. Marvel employees created National Superhero Day on April 28, 1995 to celebrate everyone’s favorite superhero. This is for superheroes only — we all know villains aren’t deserving of their own day. Still, the idea behind superhero day is to honor those who serve and protect while fighting evil. No matter who your favorite hero is, honoring the real or fictional people that inspire us is a worthwhile cause this April 28.

HOW TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL SUPERHERO DAY 2021

  1. Throw a cosplay party Halloween is still months away. But cosplay can happen anytime, and no time is better than National Superhero Day. So whether you choose a theme, like DC comic books heroes, Marvel heroes, or neighborhood heroes, invite people to come as their favorite! A dinner table boasting the likes of Silver Surfer, the Huntress, and Iron Man is bound to be fun!

  2. Sponsor a superhero film festival Even if you’ve never wanted to don a cape and save the day, it’s awesome to watch other people do it. So celebrate National Superhero Day by streaming films like "Iron Man," "Justice League," "Logan'" or even "Captain Underpants." Just make sure you have plenty of candy and popcorn on hand — and maybe some masks to really immerse yourself.

  3. Honor your own real-life superheroes What makes a superhero? Usually, it’s the attribute of having superpowers, but don’t let that stop you from taking the day to thank your own heroes. You can thank an entire group, like firefighters or police officers, or honor just one person who has demonstrated fairness, courage, and compassion. Make this superhero day your perfect day to honor all heroes.
