#316 Beyond the Mask

Been to the movies lately? With films like Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps lighting up cinemas this summer, I've been thinking about what truly makes a hero. Behind the capes and clever one-liners, they’ve got fears, flaws, and secrets, just like the rest of us — and sometimes, what stays with us isn’t the rooftop showdown, but what happens after the mask comes off.

So, this week, let’s explore what lies beneath the surface. Who is your character when the world isn’t watching? What are they hiding, and what happens if the truth gets out? Flip the idea of heroism on its head, invent a brand-new persona… anything that’ll take us past facades and into the heart of the person underneath.
