Article: Superheroes come in all shapes, sizes, and genders. Some are not even human at all. Decide on the physical traits of your superhero. The superpowers you have chosen might even help you determine the character's physicality. Consider some questions: is your character a tank? Would a lithe and lanky build be more appropriate? Is the power gender-specific? Make sure the colors, style, and accessories are all appropriate to both the character's powers and personality. Consider the central weapons your hero might rely on, and if your hero might have a signature weapon they created and use. Think about what certain colors often imply. For example, white can imply innocence, while black might be more associated with darkness or evil. A symbol or logo, for example, makes superheroes more memorable and helps make their costumes complete. Think of the big "S" on Superman's chest, and the skull painted on the Punisher's shirt. A catchphrase might also be useful, but remember to make it catchy, not long or cheesy. If it's appropriate for the character's power, consider giving them a trademark pose, weapon, vehicle, or other tool. Be sure to name these items and give them a special place in the story arc. The name of your superhero will essentially be the "hook" for getting people interested. Of course, it's the stories and character traits that make people love the superheroes, but it's their names that are memorable and make the reader interested in the first place. Try different naming techniques. There's the noun + noun technique, in which you use two nouns and make a compound word, like Spider-Man. Or, you can try the adjective + noun technique, like in Superman and Black Widow. A name can have something to do with the hero's powers, their personality, or who they are. Since you've already thought out their origin story and what powers they have, these things should help you come up with a good name. Also, you might consider making your hero part of a team. Think of well-known teams and pairings like the X-Men, Justice League, and Avengers. They often come together as a team, but also have separate stories of their own. Develop the sidekick/team the same way that you've developed the superhero thus far, then create a backstory as to how they met or came together. Consider these questions: is the sidekick useful or do they make lots of mistakes? Were they once enemies? Were they scarred by the same event?

Article: Not all charitable contributions are tax deductiblethe donation has to go to a qualifying charity or nonprofit. Usually, 501(c)3 charities and religious organizations will qualify. In order to double check, go to https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/exempt-organizations-select-check to look at the IRS' listing of exempt organizations. Remember though, churches are usually not listed in the directory. The only time a charitable organization won't be listed is if it a religious organization or a subsidiary of a larger charitable organization. In that case, if the larger organization is listed, you can be sure the subsidiary is as well. Not all charities accept cars as donations, so be sure to check before you drop your car off. If you can't find a charity you'd like to donate your car to, Car Angel uses car donations to fund a variety of projects, including literacy, children's welfare, and prison outreach. Learn more at https://www.carangel.com/programs.php. For an alternative, Car Donation Wizard takes care of a lot of the intervening steps for you. You just pick an affiliated charity, fill out a form, and schedule a pickup. Find out more at https://www.cardonationwizard.com/. Although the IRS' listing of exempt organizations should be all you need to find a reputable charity, if you still have doubts, then ask to see the organization's 501(c)3 certification from the IRS, and their articles of incorporation and bylaws specifying that they accept cars as donations. You should also beware of charities with excessive administrative costs, which include salaries, offices, and office supplies. Charity Navigator, an independent nonprofit organization, actually evaluates charities for their financial health and levels of giving relative to donations. You can learn more at http://www.charitynavigator.org/. Make sure the person who accepts your donation is affiliated with the charity.
