Cleaver/Ally, 21, Female (she/her), USA, single, lesbian, cosplayer,
novice photographer, a little bit trigger happy and a itty-witty-baby
submissive.“My father. I don’t remember ever seeing his face, but
because of my Uncle Ben, I will always remember his words. That with
great power, there must also come great responsibility. Heroes. The
way I see it, when most people think of heroes, they think of
larger-than-life patriots. Men and women who have dedicated both their
personal and professional lives to represent a symbol of hope to those
whose life might seem hopeless. A colorful embodiment of selflessness.
But, of course, That’s not the only forma hero’s life can take,
and there are so many places that our heroes can come from. So many
worlds within our world, worlds of magic, worlds of technology, worlds
of intrigue, a world where a family of adventurers can bond together
in the fight for the underdog. People whose entire existence is
defined by their unique genetic birthright. And like every civil
rights embattled minority before them, some mutants have come together
using their celebrity and powers to help fight for their cause, while
others wade through life’s persecutions and misunderstandings by
attempting to live their everyday lives with nobility and grace. But a
noble soul can, whether they want to or not, find himself on a
warrior’s path. Sometimes I wonder if being persecuted and embattled
because of who they are makes the choice of becoming a warrior
predestined. Predetermined. And that it’s the choices made there,
when faced with the unthinkable, that defines them, because we do not
live in a black-and-white world. Cliche, but true. We live in a world
where around any corner an act of violence is waiting that can change
your life forever. And whether we want to admit it or not, it is at
those times when we need someone who is willing to cross the line of
what is technically, or morally, right and wrong. But with that comes
the risk that the world can become so dark, and so compromised,that
there can be no escape, no chance for happiness. So in my search for
the hero I most admire, in my search for the definition of what a hero
is, the one thing I realized is that I will eventually have to make
certain choices that will define me and my life. Or maybe I already
have and don’t even recognize them yet. But I guess I don’t have
to worry about it too much because of all the people in our everyday
lives, in the news, in sports, in law enforcement, teachers,
musicians, and yes, larger-than-life superheroes, all the people who
stand for something bigger than ourselves. For me, only one man, a man
I never yet, has given me words to live by that I know I have to hold
my life to. I know they are the words that define a hero. ‘That with
great power, there must also come great responsibility.’ And the man
who told them to my departed uncle who told them to me, my
father.”-Peter Parker, Ultimate Marvel team up
