Stan Lee Super Kid Contest

Hey WS,

I apologize for using AI to create a sign to help my son win a contest. The comments were getting a bit heated and a little too personal for a post for a 6 year old. But I do understand what you’re saying about AI and the environment. I have removed that and will do better. I don’t want anyone to be upset with me or my son, because of my actions.

Also, me commenting on a response about using AI and saying I would use any tool necessary to help my son succeed wasn’t appropriate. I do care about the environment, I don’t even use straws 😭. Again, I’m sorry.

Here is a simple link to vote for my son, a recently turned 6 year old who had a hard start to his 14 months of life. He’s in the Stan Lee Foundation’s contest to win Super Kid. Born and raised in WS. He’s a very good kid, active in Little League and taking guitar lessons. He loves his foster siblings. He loves his Gecko. He loves, loves, loves Superheroes and if he wins this contest, he gets his own comic character and a trip to GalaxyCon in LA.

We got to GalaxyCon every year in Raleigh and he was met some amazing cosplayers dressed as his favorite superheroes. He’s even met William Shatner!

Thank you for your time and consideration. If you vote or comment, know we appreciate it more than you could know.

I didn't as I don't do FB or give out my phone number, but that is super cool. Cyclopse was my favorite growing up. I mean who doesn't love a guy who can shoot Lazer beams out of his eyes! Don't worry about the AI haters. Some of us don't have great writing skills or photo manipulation skills, and I don't believe that should stop creativity. As for people complaining about the environment, you are on a city subreddit where are the most liberal people in an area hang out and judge people. So that is not at all surprising. I'm not here to judge and I hope your kid wins. Good Luck!

Cyclops is one of his revolving favorites.
