Have you ever been rescued from a dangerous situation or saved from injury? Those who come to our aid are called heroes. Some heroes happen to be in the right place at the right time, but some volunteered themselves as first responders to a person who needed help. Some superheroes are real people who inspire us with their actions. Other heroes are fictional, like those in comic books and movies.

Each year, April 28th is National Superhero Day honouring all our favourite real and fictional heroes. Superheroes such as Batman, Iron Man, and Superman are popular figures in children's entertainment. They fight evil and protect the innocent while serving as role models for children worldwide. 

Happy superhero day

Happy superhero day!

Today, we celebrate not only the traditional muscle-bound superheroes, but also those who use their brains to fight against evil and protect our world. Superheroes who use technology are just as important in the world of superheroes. They are the ones who have developed gadgets, high-tech suits, and even cybernetic enhancements to help save the day.  

From Donatello, the tech-savvy ninja turtle, to Iron Man, the genius inventor with a high-tech suit, these heroes have proven that technology can be just as powerful as physical strength; they show us that anyone can be a hero, even if you don't have superpowers. 

One of the most iconic examples of a superhero who uses technology is Batman and his team, "The Bat Squad". With gadgets like the Batmobile, grappling hooks, and smoke bombs, they are able to take down even the most dangerous criminals. And who could forget Inspector Gadget, the lovable cyborg detective who always has the perfect tool for the job? 

But it's not just fictional characters who use technology to save the day. In real life, we see the incredible ways technology can be used to help people. Search and rescue drones, for example, are now being used to find missing hikers and aid in disaster relief efforts. Even the medical field has seen incredible advancements with the use of technology, such as 3D printing and robotic surgery.
