"Last time we did a brief introduction to Muggle Superheroes...I hope some of ya'll had a chance to sneak to the library and check out some of the books and comics dealing with those Superheroes we discussed." she said finally sinking into her usual positive attitude and demeanor.

"Can anyone remember the name of a superhero and their power that we discussed last time?" she asked glancing around the classroom at all of the faces.

To be honest, Vivi still wasn't sure she got this class. Sure, she'd read all the books in the library and had pumped poor Vickers for information, but she was just missing the fascination. Which was a shame, because most subjects did fascinate her.

But she'd try, and maybe the professor would know she was trying and would appreciate it. She gave Vick a confident nod before raising her hand. "Martian... Manhunter who is green and has big pectoral muscles and came from Mars. And sometimes is called by J'onn J'onzz, but I do not believe anyone is fooled. Oh, and also, he's in the Justice League, which I think sounds pretty legit. I'd like to be in a Justice League."

The professor walked a little bit closer to one of the posters of the villains and glanced at the evil grin of the Joker, "Just like in fairy tales, our superhero stories also have a villain that they must fight. In some of the stories these villains have superpowers that they use for evil...some have lots of money that they use to corrupt the world and those around them...and some are just plain evil..." she let the last word slither off her tongue with distaste.

"How bout everyone share a villain from your favorite movie or story, fictional or nonfictional....this doesn't have to be a superhero villain...just any villain in general from the Muggle or Wizarding world..." she asked the question and then answered her own question, "One of my most favorite villains is Ursula from Disney's the Little Mermaid." she shared her choice and then glanced out at the students to encourage their answers.

Oh, villain from anywhere? That was hard, because she had stories she loved with villains, and then there was her superhero research, that she really ought to use. Vivi squirmed a bit in her beanbag chair before raising her hand again.

"Erm... Callisto, Professor. She sort of went back and forth from being a villain to being part of the good guys because she was just trying to find a place where she fit and people who accepted her for who she was. Plus her name is from Greek mythology, which is cool." FYI. Vivi could respect a villain who hadn't figured it all out yet, AND who didn't have a superpower that consisted of wearing tight clothes.
