Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Four-year-old comic book fan Anthony Smith is deaf in his right ear and has hearing damage in his left. He also refused to wear his hearing aid (which he calls “Blue Ear” because it is blue), because “superheroes don’t wear hearing aids.” So in a long-shot attempt to help her son, Anthony’s mom emailed Marvel for ideas.

“She didn’t know a specific person to write to here at Marvel, and even figured it might get caught in our spam filters, but she sent it in anyway, because that’s the kind of great parent Christina is,” said Marvel editor Bill Rosemann. “And it was her inspiring effort to help her son that touched so many of us here. As a fellow parent of a toddler, I can understand where she’s coming from, so I forwarded the email around the rest of Editorial, asking what we could do to help, and like when Cap yells, ‘Avengers Assemble,’ the gang leapt into action.”

Not only did Anthony receive an image of the superhero Hawkeye, who lost 80 percent of his hearing back in the ’80s and wore hearing aids — Anthony also received a drawing, by Nelson Ribeiro in Collected Editions, of a brand-new superhero: “Blue Ear.”

Now, with his hearing aid back in, Anthony is able to “fight battles and help people.” His preschool, for hearing-impaired kids, recently hosted a superhero week to inspire the students to overcome their limitations.

DON’T miss the video. It’s the best thing you’ll see all day.

 #steve’s lookin’ a little disappointed there

I just had a really depressing thought.

It’s not disappointment, it’s relief and I think everyone figured that much out because most people don’t have a hard time reading facial expressions.

But what makes this depressing is I think it’s specifically relief that he didn’t have to watch ANOTHER friend fall to their death, like how Bucky did.

Which is who Steve is totally comparing Tony to when he chews Tony out in the helicarrier and tells him he would never be the man to make the sacrifice like how Bucky did, but he did and he came back okay.

And Steve’s been visibly distressed and has had clear PTSD from the flashbacks while he’s beating the shit out of that punching bag and the way he has to tell Tony “Stark, that’s a one way trip” which is something he knows first hand because that’s basically what Peggy told him before he took down the plane and he still sees people using Hydra weapons and he’s feeling like everything he fought for was pointless because history’s just gonna replay itself out and things never change.

But then Tony did something incredibly brave and incredibly stupid and he did cut that wire but he was gonna take himself out with it but he didn’t and I think Steve’s finally starting to accept that this whole trapped in the future thing can work, that things will be okay, and that no, Bucky isn’t worth 10 of Tony, Tony’s his own person, and he’s an incredible one at that, and he’s glad Tony’s not Bucky, because Tony came back.
