Profile of Captain Meta, a Superhero

I like to write. My dream is to write a superhero characters for my own comic book series.
I am now writing a comic book series. The name of the main character is Captain Meta.
He is a superhero who has super strength and super speed that helps him to fight crime and catch
criminals. He is strong enough to carry an elephant with just one arm. He also runs so fast, no one
can escape him!
Captain Meta is also vain. His hobby is being photographed. He always spends a lot time taking
photographs with his fans. He likes to smile a lot, because he has very white teeth. He loves seeing
himself in photographs and he enjoys showing off the criminals he has caught to the world.
The Avengers films are Captain Meta’s favourite film series. He watches the films every week.
Thor is Captain Meta’s favourite character in the films. Captain Meta admires Thor very much
because of his long golden hair. Captain Meta himself has short black hair Captain Meta wears a red
costume, because my favourite colour is red. His costume also has a yellow cape.
One day, I would like to publish Captain Meta’s comic book series. It would be a dream come
true! I would love it if my own superhero comic book series could one day be sold next to other
superhero series like Aquaman, Superman, Spiderman and Thor.
