Recently, I’ve been reading a lot of comic books — more specifically, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 and The Umbrella Academy. I know, I know. Call it a little bit hokey and juvenile, but you’ve gotta admit, there’s something fascinating about the way these characters come into being. Whether it’s Peter Parker getting bitten by a spider or Buffy Summers being born as “the chosen one”, it’s just another way of art vividly imitating life.

A fascinating story is coming out of Britain today about a baby born 14 weeks premature. Allbeit astounding in itself, that isn’t why this story is captivating so many worldwide. Aya Jane Solomon was born 48 hours after he mother, former champion figure skater, Jayne Solomon, died of a brain hemorrage. It’s no wonder the tiny baby is being hailed a miracle.

“She’s four days old and she’s already famous, I was just telling her that!” her father, Mahmoud said.

Now, doesn’t that remind you of the perfect beginning of any superhero’s life?
