Seven-hundred-and-forty-four-million, one-hundred-and-fourteen-thousand, eight-hundred-and-ninety-seven.<\/p>\n

In case you’re wondering if I’ve gone crazy, that behemoth of a figure – 744,114,897 – is the number of dollars that The Avengers<\/em> has made worldwide. That’s over half a billion<\/em> dollars. Pretty crazy, huh?<\/p>\n

While it’s probably not much of a surprise that The Avengers<\/em> has been a smash hit, nobody could have predicted just how big it would be. Over half a billion dollars later, and director Joss Whedon<\/a>‘s star-studded blockbuster is quickly becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all-time.<\/wbr><\/p>\n

There’s no doubt about it: we love our super-heroes. We like seeing them use their super-powers to overcome adversity and beat the bad guys.We all have our faves. My own personal superhero is probably my mom (aww<\/em>!); after that I’d have to go with Matter-Eater Lad,<\/a> a little-known superhero from the DC universe who possesses the incredible ability to eat everything – rocks, trees, space monsters. I find them both to be \u00a0inspirations in their own way.<\/p>\n
