As I have watched, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, and the Arrow, I had noticed how there is something that makes them superheroes.

In the case of Supergirl, besides being an alien, is that she wanted to do something, but because her cousin, Superman, she held back and hid who she is until something had happened, like a plane carrying her adopted sister was about to crash.

In the Flash, it was when Barry Allen saw his mother die and his father being charged with the murder of his wife. As time went on, Barry Allen tried to live as the best that he could until the explosion had given him superpowers.

In the Arrow, it was after Oliver had lost a lot in a short amount of time while on Lian Yu, that Oliver had finally realized what he had to do, although he didn't gain any superpower, like Supergirl or the Falsh, he did learn that life can be hard and that he had to make some sacrifices in order to become the Green Arrow.

Because of the myriad of people in Legends of Tomorrow, I will not discuss about them, except for Rip Hunter, when Vandel Savage had killed his wife and son, Rip went out of his way to gather people who he thought could help defeat Vandel Savage and he and his team did.

The one thing is that there is a somewhat common factor in all of this, the thing I call the 'Hero Factor', there is something inside each of these people that needs something to make them who they become, a superhero, something like a tradegy, a accident, or something else that makes them become who, maybe, get to thier full potential or close to it.

I will give an example, in the case of Oliver Queen, before he landed on Lian Yu, he was a rich billionare's son who didn't have a care in the world,but after he had landed on Lian Yu, he had to learn hard and fast how to survive and evertually right the wrongs that some people had done.

Do you agree at waht I had said or maybe it is something else that makes an ordinary person into a superhero?
