It’s National Superhero Day! Let’s Honor Some Real-Life Heroes.
Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes. Disney’s Marvel, the company behind superheros like Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow and Black Panther, decided on National Superhero Day to honor some real-life, front-line essential workers as Superheros.
Disney’s Marvel commissioned comic style drawings of health care workers, grocery store clerks, delivery people, police officers, teachers and more. The comics were drawn by Mike Hawthorne and colored by Edgar Delgado.
Here’s what Marvel Studios said on Twitter: “On #NationalSuperHeroDay we celebrate Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, thank you to those on the front lines helping keep all of us healthy and safe.”

In addition to this, the Russo Brothers, shared a picture of the Avengers from Endgame wearing Personal Protective Gear. “It’s 7pmET and you guys are cheering on the healthcare professionals and staff during their change of shifts—we’re clapping along with you,” they said. “The incredibly brave medical staff working tirelessly on the frontlines against COVID-19 are superheroes. Thank you.”

Because it is National Superhero Day, we cannot forget Warner Bros and DC Comics who also showed their appreciation for the newly recognized real-world superheroes. DC simply said “Today we give thanks to the real life heroes of the world.”

Of the many lessons Stan Lee imparted upon us, one of the most powerful was that superheroes come in all different forms – and they don't have to wear capes. In honor of #NationalSuperHeroDay, tell us about the #1 superhero in your life right now. pic.twitter.com/OD0iRZtDcF

Essential workers are the true superheroes right now. They are keeping us safe, taking care of us when we are sick and making sure our families have the things they need during uncertain times. MickeyBlog would also like to thank all of the essential workers out there. They are definitely superheroes in our book too!
