Top 5 Heroes your Kids Should Know About
Kids still on the brain I guess. Here’s my list of the Top 5 Heroes (not necessarily super) Your Kids Should Know About.
1. Spiderman – ok, the first one is super but in an ordinary kind of way. Spidey built his web shooters, using his brain to enhance his powers. He was a dork first; almost everyone is. Practically every man and quite a few women I know speak reverently of Spiderman. Why? Because he’s funny!
2. Naruto – speaking of funny, this quick ninja is a wise cracking but loyal friend. Sasuke could have easily been the star of this series what with his amazing talent and good looks but manga-ka Kishimoto made a wise choice placing Naruto at the center of the story. He’s a true hero with a strong heart that carries him further than raw strength.
3. Sadie – a central character in Mouse Guard, Sadie manages to warn everyone of danger. Determined and smart, this mouse is a dedicated mouse guard with a mind of her own.
4. Batgirl – Robin was kind of clingy and needy (not that we blame him, who wouldn’t be in his weird situation). There have been several Batgirls and almost all of them have a penchant for breaking Batman’s rules. I’m not saying kids should necessarily “learn” to break rules but challenging authority isn’t always a bad thing.
5. Professor Xavier - mainly because he’s pretty cool and he helps kids in need.

My five-year-old nephew is definitely a Spiderman fan. Has action figure, has costume, has wrist spiderweb shooter. His other hero interests include Power Rangers and the ninja turtles. (Didn’t know those last two were still popular until he started talking about them and showing me the action figures.)
