Invisible superheroes

Never underestimate the people and things that go unnoticed. Imagine being able to make yourself, or someone else, vanish whenever you wanted.

Of course, feeling like you’re unnoticed or unloved – is no fun at all. Those are the times to take solace in the knowledge that invisibility is a superpower, after all.

Invisible Girl was Marvel’s first female superhero and is one of the Fantastic Four. She got her superpowers after being exposed to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space.

Before her transformation, Sue Storm was extremely shy. Afterwards, that shyness morphed into the power of invisibility. Invisible Girl can make herself invisible by bending rays of light with her mind. She can also make other people and things invisible, as well as create force fields of invisible energy.

Here are a few songs for invisible people and secret superheroes.

Published by Roy Stannard

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
