In life, it doesn't take wearing a suit of iron, carrying a mythical hammer or swinging from spider webs to be a real hero. Sometimes the person who can make a positive difference in the world is the person who simply sees a problem and has the passion to find a creative solution. "Marvel's Hero Project" is an unscripted series that shares the positive impact several young, real-life heroes are making in their communities across the country. The inspiring young people have dedicated themselves to a variety of efforts, and Marvel is celebrating them as the superheroes they are, immortalized in their own comic books.
