A new superhero? With multiple sclerosis?! I know we all have superpowers, but damn. -D
Darkhawk: An Interview About Marvel's New Superhero With MS
When you think superhero, what usually comes to mind is a pretty intimidating power pose and hefty muscles that can make any villain a little uneasy. And what about those challenges that superheroes face? Cities in despair and a love interest trapped. Almost nothing like the challenges that those with MS face, though both challenges certainly take a level of superhuman strength.
Nevertheless, Kyle Higgins, a comic book writer, and film director has created a compelling revival of a classic character, Marvel's own, Darkhwawk. The setup? A senior in high school named Connor Young with his whole future ahead of him. After experiencing headaches, vertigo, and a bad fall, Connor is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
