Unlikely Superheroes Contest Winners!

The Challenge: create an unlikely superhero, their special power, and how they used it to solve a crisis. 

First Place

Superhero: Captain Ketchup Stain 

Special power: Making annoying ketchup stains disappear! 

Crisis they fix: People are constantly (accidentally, obviously) squirting ketchup on their shirts/pants. Captain Ketchup Stain removes these stains with a flick of the wrist! (He’s very useful). 

--Aimee, 5th

Second Place

Superhero: Sir Make-Things-Interesting

Special power: Makes your most boring presentation/report interesting. 

Crisis they fix: I stood in front of my class, my statistic-filled, boring report clutched in my hand. I began to drone on, my teacher’s eyes glazing over. “Another F,” I thought. And then, poof! Her eyes lit up. Maybe not…

--Sloka, 8th

Third Place Tie

Superhero: Unnatural-Luck Larry

Special power: Somehow defeats the villain accidentally by luck. 

Crisis they fix: Whenever a bad guy comes, you can barely count on Larry to do the job!       --Vedhas, 6th, Green

Superhero: Handwriting Detective 

Special power: Translating messy handwriting.

Crisis they fix: Teachers cannot read messy, illegible handwriting, so they hire Handwriting Detective!             --Sana V., 6th, Gold
