In my graphic novel "The Justice League" the protagonists are all of the members of the Justice League, such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Flash, and Martian Manhunter. The antagonists are Gorilla Grodd, Black Manta, Luthor, Riddler, Brainiac, Bizarro, Solomon Grundy, Metallo, Parasite, Priscilla, Joker, Two -Face, and Poison Ivy. The strengths of the "superheroes" are their superpowers and their willing to fight for justice and for the safety of others. They want to do want is right even if it is hurting themselves. The "villains" strengths are their powers or weapons that give them so sort of control over others and their way of life(there is no real compassion for anyone but themselves and their power status). The "superheroes" weaknesses are the ones the love and care for, for they are vulnerable to the power of the "villains" attacks the seek revenge on the "superheroes". Also their strive to help others and to make the world a better place. The "villains" weaknesses are the longing for more power and control and their greed sometimes. They are only concerned with their own well-being. These characters draw the reader in because its a classic hero vs. villains graphic novel and many people enjoy the fight for justice where good always seems to prevail. Many believe that the action and suspense and the good vs. evil is thrilling and adventurous. I think this story is more aimed at teenagers and young adults because of some of the content and the reader must have some deeper thinking processes and they must be able to understand the plot of the story. Many of the "villains" are more graphic and some of the scenes take a higher level of thinking to process what is going on in the story. You have to be able to understand the characters thoughts and feelings about events in the story. The situation that these characters are in is familiar because it is showing that good vs. evil in the world and it gives people hope that someday all the good in the world will help to diminish the evil that has sort of taken over. It also gives people a sense of adventure and it shows people that there are many different ways to go about"saving the world". Sometimes all it takes is one person to stand up and show the world what good can do.
