Hello readers! For today’s blog post, I have some insight from an outside source in order to show you what another person might have to say about the blog topic, “Do Villains Generate Heroes?”. The person that I interviewed is my boyfriend, Roberto Bejar, who is currently an 18 year-old college student. I decided to interview him because he is somewhat knowledgable about comics, but he is very interested in superheroes. Although he has not read that many comics, as a child he would watch the Justice League: Unlimited, Static Shock, Batman: The Animated Series, and Teen Titans.
Q: Do you consider yourself as someone who knows a lot about comics?
A: No, but some comics interest me. It depends on what comic it is and what superheroes/heroes are involved in the comic.
Q: What is your favorite comic?
A: My favorite comic is "old man Logan" because it has multiple characters such as Wolverine, Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America, the Black Widow,Spider-Man, and Red Skull.
Q: What is your favorite hero and villain relationship? Why?
A: My favorite superhero/villain relationship is batman and the joker because they are similar yet so different. Everything went wrong in both of their lives, but they dealt with it in different ways. The joker solved his problems through insanity while batman chose to deal with his problems and fight for justice.
Q: Do you think they have a good relationship or bad relationship? Elaborate!
A: I think that from batman to joker, they have a bad relationship, but from joker to batman they have a good relationship. Batman hates the joker because the joker kills people and batman doesn't stand for that, but on the contrary, the joker needs the batman in order to operate - the joker needs some type of opposition.
Q: What is your least favorite hero and villain relationship?
A: I don't have a least favorite hero/villain relationship because in all of the comics I've read, the relationships are very thought out and make sense.
Q: Do you think a comic could survive without either character? Explain?
A: No, a comic cannot survive without each other because it's like a cat and mouse relationship where they need each other in order to survive and live out their full potential.
Q: Do you see yourself more in the hero or the villain or both? Explain?
A: I see myself more in the hero because if it boiled down to a bad situation, i would choose to do good over bad.
Q: In your opinion, what makes a good villain?
A: A good villain is defined by their motives, power, leadership, and ability to perform.
Q: In your opinion, what makes a good superhero?
A: A good hero is the exact same thing, just their motives are good instead of bad.
Q: What is a villain?
A: A villain is someone who had devoted his life to crime and opposes the hero.
Q: What is a superhero?
A: A hero is someone who has devoted his life to fighting crime and keeping people safe.
Q: Do you know who Wonder Woman is? If so, do you know any of her villains?
A: Yes I know who she is - but no I don't know any of her villains.
Q: Do you think she's as important as the male superheroes? Why or why not?
A: No because she's not advertised enough and seems more like a sidekick rather than a superhero independently.
Q: Why do you think that is? Do you think that women should get more credit in comics?
