Marvel Creates New Superhero to Make One Little Boy Happy

From worstpreviews, It's always great to hear about a big company taking time out of their busy schedules to make one person happy. In this case, the person is the 4-year-old Anthony Smith, and the company is Marvel.

Anthony was born without a right ear and cannot hear from that side at all. He also suffers from hearing loss in his other ear, which is why he wears a hearing aid. But just recently, he decided he will never again wear the aid again, because superheroes don't wear them either.

His mother had trouble convincing him otherwise and decided to send an email to Marvel Comics for some assistance finding an example of a superhero with a hearing aid. Marvel responded with an image of Hawkeye, a superhero who lost 80% of his hearing and wears hearing aids.

But the company didn't stop there. They later sent a drawing of Anthony as a new superhero, called "Blue Ear," named after Anthony's hearing aid. And then, they also sent a shot of Blue Ear and Hawkeye together.
