How to become a hero

Create a context. This is aptly referred to as an “origin story.” The threads of a past life that meld your physical and psychological complexities into the person you are today.
Practice punchable lines. Comic Heroes don’t talk much. When they do it tends to be an exposition meltdown. Which means everything you should say should hover around being direct. So develop your cadence. Perfect your inflection. And when you deliver your lines, impact.
Wear a costume. This is important on multiple fronts, but the primary purpose is to serve as a veil to your “other life.” Not simply to conceal you when you’re prowling the night’s sky, but to serve as a gateway — between you and the heroic you. Without the costume, you aren’t the comic hero; with it, you are not your former self. Try to create one that defines you and your powers.
Establish an arch-villain. They tend to be defined in your origin story, but not always. This archenemy is the opposite of yourself and what you intend to complete, your mission — they are the anti-matter to your matter. Be thoughtful in your choice for this enemy. That is, if they haven’t already picked you.

Thanks sleepy. Where did that description come from? Pretty cool pimmel. It highlights why the joker is Batman's arch villain and not poison ivy, freeze, riddler, the penguin, or any of the others.
