Weapon or Warrior – Where Power Comes From

Why hello there my fellow readers! It seems that I have returned from my long hibernation, also known as laziness, to bring you an out-of-the-blue update. I find it interesting how I'm more willing to type out a random online article instead of writing down lecture notes. I guess we all have our own ways of taking study breaks. 

So what could possibly bring me out of the darkness? Doctor Strange. This unique and powerful Marvel hero got me thinking a lot about what I find appealing in a super-powered character. Do I prefer the heroes who rely on their own strength, and whose powers come from themselves? Or do I find something tantalising about a character who relies on gadgets and artefacts, and builds themselves up from nothing? Please join me in this brief "thought progression debate" as I compare heroes like Doctor Strange, Batman, and Ironman with the likes of Superman, Edward Elric, and Goku.
