Pygmalion was man who became disgusted with the women around him and resolved to create the perfect woman. He sculpted a woman named Galatea and day by day gradually crafted her feature to perfection. Pygmalion soon became obsessed with his perfect sculpture and desired to be with her at all times. Upon seeing Pygmalion's displays of affection the goddess Aphrodite brought Galatea to life so that Pygmalion and her could find happiness.
I think it would be cool to have a superhero brought to real life, such as Thor. It seems to me that having such as hero could help reduce crime and could possibly be a higher authority which could help bring peace to the world. Although I guess this would only work if we only brought a superhero to life and not there corresponding super villain. If we had a character like Thor or another superhero/being brought to life who was above most human mistakes I definitely think that we would be more kind and more educated as a planet.
