Carlyle Hero

“All this I liken to dry, dead fuel, waiting for the lightning out of Heaven that shall kindle it… His word is the wise healing word which all can believe in. All blazes around him now, when he has once struck on it, into fire like his own” (Horton, 607). This is my hero, Mysterio. He lurks in the shadows at night, seeking to stop villains and their dastardly deeds. Mysterio uses his cape as a stronger extension of his arm to perform many acrobatic acts in order to keep civilians safe. During the day he is a volunteer firefighter. He embodies many character traits that encourage countless others to be better people. Some of these character traits would be selflessness, honestly, loyalty, and perseverance. When asked, many people would praise Mysterio for his passion and dedication, comparing his drive to a life of fire.
