Objective: You will design and draw a crest for an element superhero. The crest will include the superhero’s name, based on the element, an emblem, based on the element’s chemical symbol(s), and the superhero’s special power(s) and weakness(es), based on the properties and common uses of the element.

Before you begin:

What are the special characteristics that make a superhero? Think about your favorite superhero from a movie, comic book, cartoon, or video game. Superheroes have descriptive names, such as The Incredible Hulk–for an astonishingly large guy, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle–for a young, transformed, karate-chopping reptile. They dress unique to set them apart from the public. Their clothing is usually colorful, form fitting and adorned with a recognizable crest or emblem. Superman wears red tights with a big “S” on his chest and the Joker paints his face like a clown.  Superheroes have super abilities. Spider-Man has his “spider sense” and is able to cling to most surfaces and Batman has extraordinary detective skills.

They have weaknesses too. Super Mario is vulnerable to fire and Wolverine has a terrible temper. Think about what your element would be like if it somehow magically turned into a superhero. What would his/her unique characteristics be?
