"How To" Zine

HOW TO BECOME A SUPERHERO (in brief):

1. Pick a costume
     -Be original, nothing related to a spider or S; bright colors and great design (catch media attention); cape or no cape (modern tech isn't too friendly. i.e. plane turbine)/(insert cape with flaps that open up to give directions to how to make a cape)

2. Pick a superpower
     -Superpowers have evolved; need quantum powers; armored, elementalist, mentalist, healer, etc.

3. Unparallel moral code
    -Needs to be strong; keep you fighting for the world; even though you're accused of being a villain your moral code keeps you protecting the world until people realize you are meant for good

4. Secret headquarters
    -Place to plan against evil villains; no gf/bf can be sneaky and find out about it; you don't want your cleaning lady to mistakenly activate your gadgets (this page in my book with have doors that open up to the actual page)

5. Secret identity
     -Need normal ID to go shopping, movies, parties; don't need to be a loser to camouflage; jobs: teacher, news anchor/reporter, or doctor

6. Symbol or Logo
     -Modern days make a website and video game; hire a pro; DON'T be similar to any past superheros; don't forget to copyright!

7. Amazing wealth
    -not a cheap lifestyle to live; have an inheritance

8. Villains
     -Should be smart and sophisticated; have enough power to give you superhero reputation; good enough powers to beat everyone but you
