Description
You have been contracted by Marvel Pictures to draft, create, and name a superhero that appeals to your own peer group. You are competing with other creators to have your superhero adopted by Marvel and expanded into a full line of products, so you have to sell your idea in a succinct, 2 – 3-minute video pitch. The twist, however, is that your character must draw his powers from mathematical concepts that allow him/her/it to overcome challenges, defeat villains, and generally save the day! That’s right: the RFP (Request for Proposal) from Marvel explicitly says that they want a Mathematical Superhero – something about wanting to be the STEAM producers in Hollywood. Your pitch must include the following elements: a) an introduction to the character and their powers; b) examples of challenges your hero can/has overcome; and c) the character appeal to the benefits of a math-oriented hero.
