4. Summary: Fate is an event or circumstance that is completely out of control of the person or people that it effects. A great example is represented through the Heros and Villains in comic books. According to Webster dictionary fate is defined as, "the will or principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to be as they are or events to happen as they do" ( Merriam-Webster). With the line "events happen as they do" works with the idea of Heros and Villains because if they were born with their powers it was their Fate to have these powers. This is because they did not choose to have them, and it is not fate for the Heros and Villains that chose to get modified to get their powers. An example of this is the protagonist from the Marvel series of Wolverine. This Hero is not Fated to be a Hero because he was not born with the metal claws that emerge from his hands. An example of a hero or villain that is fated into their situation is the villain from the marvel series X-men, Magneto. He was born with the power to control all metal. With the line "the will or principle or determining cause" shows that the people do not have the decision to control what their Fate is.
