Your friday good news!
Four-year-old Anthony Smith of Salem, New Hampshire is completely deaf in his right ear, and needs a hearing aid for his left ear.
But he told his mother he didn’t want to wear the hearing aid anymore, because, quote, “superheroes don’t wear hearing aids.”
So his mother emailed Marvel Comics looking for help . . . and they went ABOVE and BEYOND.
First they pointed out that Hawkeye, one of the Avengers, lost 80% of his hearing, and wears hearing aids.
Then they had two artists create a NEW superhero, just for Anthony. His name is Blue Ear, which is Anthony’s nickname for his hearing aid. And Blue Ear wears one while he fights crime.
