Superhero Vocabulary Reference Sheet

Use this reference and the stargazing-night story to sort, understand and choose vivid superhero words. Tier 1 words are familiar everyday words; Tier 2 words are useful across many subjects and stories; Tier 3 words belong to a specialised topic.

A rescue beneath the stars

At a stargazing night, Harper spotted a silver spacecraft drifting above the lookout. A meteor shower had damaged its navigation system, and the small extraterrestrial crew could not find its way home. Layla used a telescope to investigate what was happening near the spacecraft. Dylan, a superhero with the power of teleportation, volunteered for a rescue mission. He crossed the sky in an instant, then helped the crew repair its equipment. The grateful visitors communicated with the friends through a glowing symbol. Together, they watched the stars while the spacecraft travelled safely towards its distant galaxy.
