Heroes For Causes Turns Two Real Life Kids Into Diabetic Superheroes

In association with the Children’s Diabetes Foundation, Heroes For Causes brings their 3rd original comic to life, Upturn and Downdraft. Inspired by a real-life brother and sister team, this comic follows the diabetic duo as they remotely pilot state-of-the-art mech suits. The latest comic premieres at Megacon March 30, 2023. Heroes for Causes can be found in the Charity section of the show near the celebrity signing area. Copies of the new book will be available for signing with any donation towards the cause. 

Brody and Everly Gouker are the real life inspiration for the characters. Both children were diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at a young age and want to show the world that the diagnosis can be managed and you can achieve your dreams in real life but you can achieve your fantasies as a superhero too! No success story happens in a vacuum and both kids have been incredibly supportive of each other as they deal with the highs and lows of their conditions. Even the Avengers needed a team! 

This third comic builds on the world created by Heroes For Causes where all heroes are real life kids who are superheroes thriving with different types of medical conditions. This issue continues the story where the notorious Mr. I crashes a nearby celebration for Pathway and Center Ice and the twins spring to action, going toe to toe with his mightiest creation yet, Trinitom!
