Anyone know where I can find some classic or modern marvel monologues? I would like to use one in my speech class. Should last me about 3 minutes.
Once upon a time, there was a genius who...
a very bright man who...
Once upon a time, there was a very arrogant man who did something very stupid. Without proper preparation or shielding, he took his friends through a wave of radiation that made them all something other than human. His guilt was unbearable... and deserved. These were the people he loved, and he'd destroyed their lives. Thanks to him, they were fated to be freaks... lab specimens or worse...
...unless he changed that fate somehow. Unless he made the world see them for what they were : three of the best and bravest people anyone could hope to meet. So he refused to let them operate in secret. He gave them a home in a city of eight million. And he gave them costumes. And a flying car. And encouraged them to parade around with some pretty outlandish names.
"Mr. Fantastic." Does that sound like something anyone would really want to call themselves? No. But that's the kind of thing that made headlines. And t-shirts. And action figures. He knew that would keep people from fearing them. You see, glamour and fame weren't options. They were necessities. Because maybe by turning his friends into celebrities...
...he could be forgiven for taking their normal lives away.
Someday.
