Creating a Beowulf-Inspired Superhero for Marvel Comics
Hired by Marvel Comics, you are tasked with developing a new superhero embodying the qualities of Beowulf. This project involves designing a brave, kind, protective, and honest character with superhuman abilities and a flaw, set in an Anglo-Saxon inspired society that values bravery, honesty, and courage. The superhero must confront a villain, overcome challenges, and pursue a higher goal in a narrative structure including elements like exposition, conflict, climax, and resolution. Dressing uniquely, the hero must defeat a foe like the archetype Grendel while developing a distinct weakness or flaw.
