Main Character Analysis

 Good afternoon! With all the discussion of Power-Man in my last post, I thought that it would be best to go into more into detail on him as a character, giving clues as to who is his, and what he hopes of one day becoming.

Personality

Like any superhero, Power-Man strives for the greater good of humanity. He helps anyone who needs it, whether it may be just simple help around the neighborhood, or savings one's life;  and tries he stops at nothing to stop criminals out there breaking the law and and harming others. There's just one problem: He's not all that super. 

While it's true that he doesn't have super strength, super speed, or any other jaw dropping powers, he doesn't let that stop him or hinder him in anyway. Instead, he keeps on going, acting as a symbol to all that even though you may not be the best at what you are doing or your dream, that doesn't mean you should just give it up. One day, he hopes be as strong as those heroes that have inspired him, but until then, he will keep on giving it all, doing what he thinks he was destined to do.

When thinking of his personality, I can't help but draw connections to the hero Mumen Rider from the animated series 'One Punch Man'. Who similar to our protagonist Power-Man, has relentless optimism and determination, not letting his own limits stop him from helping others.

Costume

The picture above is the first iteration of our protagonist's costume! While it isn't quite finished yet as of writing this, the picture gives a good idea of what the final design will look like. 

Power-Man's costume isn't just for style, the plan is to have his costume have an abundance of red all over it. The emphasis of the color red in his costume is meant to show foes his power and determination, showing how he is not willing to step down to evildoers, allowing his courage to shine both inside and out. 

The childish look of the costume may be off putting at first that is actually done intentionally, as our intro is meant to showcase Power-Man  fairly early into his journey of being a superhero, with the silly looking suit meant to symbolize that he still has much more to grow as the 'film' goes on. I imagine that as the movie progressed further past the intro, his super suit would grow to be more and more like an actually one, instead of a cheaply homemade suit.

While it may not be obvious at first glance, the costume actually draws many inspirations from other pieces of media! The homemade design of the suit is inspired by the homemade suit that Spider-Man sports in the film 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', which similar to our protagonists suit, showcases how the hero is just in the beginning stages of their journey.
