Hi, I'm Caitlyn.
Watch Marvel make me a hero.
I am a project manager in new media at Marvel.
My favorite part about managing projects,
people, groups, anything in that regard,
really is the problem solving.
I look at it as that problem solving is
a creative effort in its own endeavor,
and I'm a huge people person.
I love talking with people, so any opportunity for me
to get to know someone new and establish
that new connection and relationship,
I absolutely love.
I was probably about 18 years old, the first time
that I had heard of Marvel--
my father being the most excited maybe I've ever seen him
and saying, like, I'm taking you and your brother
to the movie theater.
We're going to go watch this thing that I was, like--
and he starts babbling on about Iron Man.
And I'm like, I don't know what this is, or what this means.
But sure, dad.
He's really excited.
Let's go.
And so he went, and it was just like watching him
like a kid in a candy store.
It was a side of my father I have literally never seen.
And then he brings us home.
And then he had my father's childhood dresser,
and he brought it, and he showed it to us.
And there was a mirror on it, and there
was a little Iron Man sticker of him
with, like, the bullet head--
and just telling us how much that meant to him as a kid,
and how, religiously, that was the one thing he cared about
as a kid was to go and get the Iron Man comics,
and how much he loved Tony Stark.
And it was just he'd never shared that with us.
The power that I really wanted to bring into this character
was light and energy, because it's
something that exists everywhere at all times,
whether you can see it or not.
She can use it to use it as a levitating force
to kind of push her up or move at the speed of light,
which would be very very, fast.
But predominately, she would use it
for gathering into energy balls if she
needed to use them as an attack or beams, in that regard.
But she much would prefer usually to channel them
into the form of a weapon of some sort,
and then she can just channel the energy through that
to form the shape of a sword.
I would like my Super Hero to look
like me, like she's strong.
She's solid.
It's just average body type, because anyone
can be a Super Hero.
For her hair, I would like a similar kind of cut to mine,
but more brown fading into blonde.
And the blonde, especially when she's using that power
and pulling upon energy, it would just kind of glow.
So my personal favorite color is purple, and then the black
just being purely functional, and any kind of armor,
I think would--
I would want it to be that gold that
would really complement the black
and the purple-- and white for accents.
Knee high boots, for sure.
Leggings, so it's tight and close to her body,
but easy to move--
and a bodice that is armor, but it's comfortable.
And then a partial skirt that would have this belt, where she
would kind of keep the handles for all of her weaponry
that she would channel through.
Some gloves-- maybe I have got some cool cut-outs.
I also would love to see her with a tiara, not overpowering
and nothing that would fall off her head when she's in battle,
but gives her a way to channel and control
the energy around her mentally.
I would say that she is a street-level hero.
If she ever got pulled into a galactic level event,
I am sure she would absolutely step up to the challenge.
That is so cool!
I love her armor up top and her belt. That sword is so cool,
and I don't have high heels, which is amazing.
I love how all of the weapons are different,
and then there's obviously the big sword
that is her go-to weapon.
You can tell that her hair is growing too,
and it looks so cool.
I'm really, really excited to show this to my family,
just knowing how much the Marvel brand means and has meant to us
throughout all of these years.

Thanks, Marvel, for making me a hero.
