Creativity

As a child and even now my favorite superhero is Batman.  When I was young I used to wear a cap that had the name "Bat-Zach" on the back of it.  With that said I don't know if this was creativity or just stupidity, but when I was six years old my friend, David, and I tied a bunch of bed sheets together and threw them out a second story window.  We then tied the end to a desk in his brother's room so that we could scale the wall down to the yard below.  We thought that this would give us the experience of being Batman scaling a wall.  Truth be told, I wasn't strong enough to hold my own weight for that long and while I was still near the top of the sheet-rope I let go and fell 2 stories.

When thinking of something creative that I have done in my recent past I drew a blank.  The only thing that came to mind was my recent discovery of white boards.  As a physics and math major most of the problems that I do at my current level take at least a page of work.  If you make a single mistake you have to erase all the work you have done and your final product looks like crap with scuff marks and faded work behind work.  Using a white board means that the work you turn in will be clean and your professor will be able to read it clearly.

Recently I watched the Punisher movie put out by Marvel in 2004.  The scene where the Punisher uses the most creativity is when he "tortures" Mickey. Now he doesn't use creativity to save the day, but he tricks Mickey in order for him to spill information on Howard Saint and to recruit Mickey to help him with his final plan.  The Punisher hangs Mickey up by his ankles and takes his shirt off.  Then, he shows Mickey a blow torch and explains to him that when a person is introduced to 2000 degrees of heat first they'll go into shock and then all they will feel is cold and the smell of burning meat. So the Punisher takes the blow torch to a steak behind Mickey's back and once Mickey smells the burning meat the Punisher pokes his back with a popsicle.  So in pretending to torture Mickey, the Punisher gets the information he needs and an inside man to the Saint family and no one gets hurt.
