Throughout the world of superheroes there is a notion of camaraderie, of team work, great friends and a notion of family. These concepts mirror our real lives where we seek out good friends, a sense a family and in the area of our jobs we want a good support system.
These ideals can however be shattered. Which is basically what my weekend consisted of. The core of my "superhero team" (a.k.a my somewhat small group of best friends) dissolved, like the current status quo of The Earth's Mightiest Heroes, or even those Uncanny X-men.
Betrayal and lies has broken apart my little group, well nothing that serious I guess. My best friend like the Invincible Iron Man has taken a position of power at work and is now a manager. Much like her comic counterpart she has isolated herself from the rest of us forcing change into our laps.
Then there is my friend who mirrors the Incredible Hulk, this past week she truly (is it wierd my straight girl friends remind me of men?) played up the Jekel/Hyde persona of her character. Early in the week she was a great friend much like Bruce Banner, the Hulk's less abrasive alter ego. By week's end however the mean green machine was raging and with her berserker rage she may have truly alienated the last remnants of our little group.
Those who are inclined to reading comics however know that teams reform and restucture. As my core group slowly dissolves an old friend rose like The Pheonix from her ashes. So just like in the superhero world..... life is balanced until the next plot starts to unfold.
