I honestly have no idea why, but superheroes have always been a bit of an infatuation of mine. I'd like to say it's because of their acts of valor and selflessness, but in reality, it's undoubtedly just because they look so freaking cool in their uniforms. Ever since I saw the movie Iron Man, he's been my favorite. I think it might have something to do with Robert Downey Jr.'s unique sense of humor, not to mention the awesome noise his hand makes when he's about to shoot something out of it.

Batman is definitely a close second. Once again, I had no
interest in him until after the movies came out. As soon as I first got a
glimpse of Christian Bale in his Dark Knight uniform, I was hooked. For those
of you who haven't seen the trilogy (what, have you been living under a rock
for the past few years?), I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Honestly? Captain America has never been one of my favorites. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm unpatriotic or something (in fact, quite the opposite. You should see me on the 4th of July). It's just he always lacked pizzazz for me, you know? That totally changed after I saw the most recent movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (do you see a recurring pattern here?). The painting you see here was for my sister's friend's birthday. Apparently she's a Captain America fan. You're welcome.
Needless to say, I have some growing up to do. 16 years old and still obsessed with superheroes? I should be focusing my efforts on something more worthwhile, like school... Ehhh... I think I'll stick with superheroes.
