00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.922
- So today I'm being turned into Storm.

00:00:03.922 --> 00:00:05.488
- I get to become Wolverine, today.

00:00:05.488 --> 00:00:07.800
- I'm going to be Wonder Woman.

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:09.703
Oh my God!

00:00:09.703 --> 00:00:14.703
(upbeat music)

00:00:15.485 --> 00:00:17.687
- If I'm storm, I'll be
better than any rapper

00:00:17.687 --> 00:00:19.481
because I will literally make it rain.

00:00:19.481 --> 00:00:20.802
Psh, come on.

00:00:20.802 --> 00:00:24.656
- I think it's going to be
a really cool, empowering

00:00:24.656 --> 00:00:29.436
experience to vicariously
live as a super hero.

00:00:29.436 --> 00:00:30.782
- When I was an elementary school,

00:00:30.782 --> 00:00:32.033
I was diagnosed with scoliosis,

00:00:32.033 --> 00:00:33.368
which is curvature of the spine.

00:00:33.368 --> 00:00:36.371
So then I had get spinal
fusion surgery done

00:00:36.371 --> 00:00:38.286
in the 6th grade,

00:00:38.286 --> 00:00:40.835
and the procedure was to get
metal fused to your spine.

00:00:40.835 --> 00:00:43.652
It was about a year after the
first X-Men movie had come out

00:00:43.652 --> 00:00:45.289
and so my friends started
calling me Wolverine

00:00:45.289 --> 00:00:47.790
which was really cool transforming that

00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:51.005
into something that made me
feel powerful and unique.

00:00:51.005 --> 00:00:53.343
- I'm watching an episode of Wonder Woman

00:00:53.343 --> 00:00:54.673
to get in the spirit.

00:00:54.673 --> 00:00:55.766
- She was one of the only

00:00:55.766 --> 00:00:58.623
female, black super heroes growing up.

00:00:58.623 --> 00:01:00.771
It was awesome to see
someone who looked like me.

00:01:00.771 --> 00:01:04.693
- He's so tough and he
exudes such confidence

00:01:04.693 --> 00:01:06.899
and just badassness.

00:01:06.899 --> 00:01:08.570
It doesn't feel very Wolverine

00:01:08.570 --> 00:01:10.197
to be getting primped like this,

00:01:10.197 --> 00:01:12.523
but Wolverine don't give a (beep).

00:01:12.523 --> 00:01:15.004
- Watching Wonder Woman as a kid

00:01:15.004 --> 00:01:17.270
made me excited for puberty.

00:01:17.270 --> 00:01:19.899
I was like, "Maybe I'm going
to look like Wonder Woman."

00:01:19.899 --> 00:01:22.167
That didn't happen and here we are.

00:01:22.167 --> 00:01:23.927
(laughing)

00:01:26.157 --> 00:01:28.590
Oh my God!

00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:30.043
(laughing)

00:01:30.043 --> 00:01:31.677
- Oh my gosh!

00:01:31.677 --> 00:01:33.419
- Yeah!

00:01:33.419 --> 00:01:35.054
- That's so cool.

00:01:36.164 --> 00:01:37.458
- Eee!

00:01:37.458 --> 00:01:39.058
- Having massive claws just

00:01:39.058 --> 00:01:42.297
make you feel like the
rules don't apply to you

00:01:42.297 --> 00:01:44.939
- I feel like I look kickass,

00:01:44.939 --> 00:01:46.566
but could I kick someone's ass?

00:01:46.566 --> 00:01:49.403
Probably not because I can't
move in these heels at all.

00:01:49.403 --> 00:01:52.404
- It makes me feel so strong
and like I could do anything,

00:01:52.404 --> 00:01:54.881
it's also just kind of sleek and sexy.

00:01:54.881 --> 00:01:56.868
- Being a badass was allowed,

00:01:56.868 --> 00:01:59.761
and it's just such a cool
feeling to just be like,

00:01:59.761 --> 00:02:01.831
"Yeah, (beep) the world,
go (beep) yourself,

00:02:01.831 --> 00:02:03.082
I don't care what you think."

00:02:03.082 --> 00:02:04.668
You know, it's not the nicest sentiment,

00:02:04.668 --> 00:02:06.122
but it makes you feel cool.

00:02:06.122 --> 00:02:10.841
(upbeat music)
