Incredible Elijah

Elijah is not one to be silent when he witnesses suffering. His extraordinary empathy for others is his superpower, and he has been using it to prevent child abuse. Though he simply calls it "doing his job," 11-year-old Elijah is speaking out against injustices in his local community. He has galvanized children, adults, and those in public service to join him in his rallying cry to protect the most vulnerable members of society. He has organized marches, addressed his city council, and, most importantly, made connections to those in pain, so that they can, with his support, find a path towards getting help. Elijah is already a hero in his community and now, in recognition of his commitment to helping children, Marvel is making him a Super Hero, immortalized in his very own comic book. Elijah doesn't know it yet, but he's about to be initiated into an elite group of extraordinary kids, when he joins Marvel's Hero Project.
