Stranger things who became a test

My List of Churvang-Churvang Heroic Icons
Heroic Icon Description
1. Peter Pan Peter Pan is a young boy who lives
on the island of Neverland. He has a
pixie called Tinker Bell who is his
best friend and sidekick.
3. Batman Batman's foremost qualities include
wealth, physical strength,
intelligence, and obsessive passion.
Why do I like this character?
Despite her remarkably difficult
childhood, she is still very protective
to other people especially her family
and friends and willing to sacrifice
herself.
I resemble myself to her with
regards to character traits. Moreover,
I like her for she symbolizes the
values of women deemed essential
today, which is strength and self-
reliance for women.
Why do I dislike this character?
He symbolizes the selfishness of
childhood. His figure shifts from real
world to fantasy world which I deem
not realistic. He also technically
kidnaps children.
Batman willingly beats the crap out
of low-level thugs. But when it
comes to people who could be
classified as terrorist, it's 'against his
code' to get rid of them.
