Friday night I stopped by the Franklin Institute to check out the “Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes” sneak peek preview party. I ran into a lot of fans who were eager to be the first ones to check out the much anticipated show full of their favorite super heroes. I asked the fans which super hero they would like to be, and what super power they’d like to posses.

The exhibit is full of great tidbits, props and selfie moments with your favorite superhero, over 300 objects from 80 years of comic book history . But I’m going to let you check it out in person, in my column we’re going to focus on the folks who attended. The show is from April 13th through September 2.

Dan Povlich wants to be Wolverine, I know purist don’t love this choice, but I do and Krista Burns – I wish I could fly, and then I would save the world

Babette Taylor would like to be the Black panther with the super power of invisibility “I’d like to be invisible so I can go around and lightly smack dumb people in the head.” and Kevin Miller would be Wolverine with personal healing power.

Tina Rosenberg wants to be Spiderman and possess mind control (her husband Matt rolls his eyes) he wants to be Captain America and possess the power of flight “so I can avoid traffic.”

Chris Helker – Loki (Loki, in Norse mythology, a cunning trickster who had the ability to change his shape and sex. ) and Sharif Pendleton – black panther, who wouldn’t want to live in a tech world. Heading to Cherry Street Pier this summer, check out Sharif’s art studio – https://www.cherrystreetpier.com/artist/sharif-pendleton/

Danielle Lambersky would channel Ahora and Joshua Bernett you guest it – Spiderman. Joshua tells me he has other outfits with the spiderman theme, including a hoodie that has a Spiderman mask.

Jason Kuron – Captain America , the power of unlimited money (I would like that power as well) and Francesco Shin – Spiderman and Flight

Lena Nhek, wonder women, and invisible so I can check out Area 51, Sam Holloschutz wants to be Superman to fly, Chris Borden would be Capt America and Time Travel back to the 20s to stop WW II and Johanna Morales, Root Train (OK I hope I heard her right especially since she’s a PhillyChitChat reader), I did hear her say she wants the power to fit in small spaces.
