Just got done reading this news article. A comic loving kid, Anthony Smith, wears a hearing aid. Then comes a point where he takes it off and refuses to wear it anymore claiming superheroes don’t wear hearing aids! Desperate for help, Anthony’s mother Christina D’Allesandro wrote to Marvel, hoping to discover a superhero that proved him wrong. That’s where Hawkeye comes in. He wore a hearing aid! So the people over at Marvel sent the mother an issue of Hawkeye, but didn’t stop there. They also made a small issue of Hawkeye and the ‘Blue Ear’ which is what Anthony called his hearing aid.
As I explained yesterday. It’s the small steps. Anthony refused to wear his hearing aid because superheroes don’t. He then finds out one does and bam! He hardly ever takes it off now!
