The Rise of Real-Life Superheroes by Peter Nowak Pdf
Life imitates art. As superheroes dominate pop culture, it shouldn't be too shocking then that superheroes are becoming real. As in really real. Scores of men and women around the world are putting on masks and costumes and hitting the streets. It's probably happening in a city near you. Phoenix Jones charges into a Seattle bar brawl with his pepper spray blasting, his padded body armour deflecting incoming punches and knife blades. Dark Guardian uses a judo flip to take down an angry drug dealer in Manhattan's grimy Jackson Square. Meanwhile, Polar Man takes a more Canadian approach, showing up in the remote northern town of Iqaluit dressed in a black-and-white costume to shovel snow from driveways. They're real-life superheroes: individuals who take on masked personae to fight crime and help the helpless. They don't have super powers, but they do try to make the world a better place. They aren't just basement-dwelling nerds either--they come from all walks of life, and their numbers are growing around the world thanks to a confluence of factors: the rise of comic book culture in mainstream media, a growing disillusionment with authority, the enabling effects of the internet and an appetite for fame and notoriety without repercussion. Many admit their activities are a form of self-therapy, a way to feel powerful in a world where it's easy to feel powerless. Many also want to inspire others to do the same; to shake society from its collective apathy. To some, real-life superheroes may seem like quirky outliers or dangerous vigilantes but, as Peter Nowak shows, they are also archetypes whose job is to remind us of the better part of human nature. Life-long comic book fan and veteran journalist Nowak goes to the source, meeting with real-life super heroes in North America and around the world to get their stories, tracing the rise of the phenomenon, investigating its meaning and what it means for the future of society.

In 2016, Globe and Mail reporter Ann Hui drove across Canada, from Victoria to Fogo Island, to write about small-town Chinese restaurants and the families who run them. It was only after the story was published that she discovered her own family could have been included—her parents had run their own Chinese restaurant, The Legion Cafe, before she was born. This discovery, and the realization that there was so much of her own history she didn’t yet know, set her on a time-sensitive mission: to understand how, after generations living in a poverty-stricken area of Guangdong, China, her family had somehow wound up in Canada. Chop Suey Nation: The Legion Cafe and Other Stories from Canada’s Chinese Restaurantsweaves together Hui’s own family history—from her grandfather’s decision to leave behind a wife and newborn son for a new life, to her father’s path from cooking in rural China to running some of the largest “Western” kitchens in Vancouver, to the unravelling of a closely guarded family secret—with the stories of dozens of Chinese restaurant owners from coast to coast. Along her trip, she meets a Chinese-restaurant owner/small-town mayor, the owner of a Chinese restaurant in a Thunder Bay curling rink, and the woman who runs a restaurant alone, 365 days a year, on the very remote Fogo Island. Hui also explores the fascinating history behind “chop suey” cuisine, detailing the invention of classics like “ginger beef” and “Newfoundland chow mein,” and other uniquely Canadian fare like the “Chinese pierogies” of Alberta. Hui, who grew up in authenticity-obsessed Vancouver, begins her journey with a somewhat disparaging view of small-town “fake Chinese” food. But by the end, she comes to appreciate the essentially Chinese values that drive these restaurants—perseverance, entrepreneurialism and deep love for family. Using her own family’s story as a touchstone, she explores the importance of these restaurants in the country’s history and makes the case for why chop suey cuisine should be recognized as quintessentially Canadian.
