Every superhero needs an origin story and I, Ethan Stranger am no exception. While I may not be an actual superhero or have any actual superpowers, there’s a bit of story to my name itself, allow me to explain the origin of how I came up with such an unusual name for a Blogger & understand my passion for sharing my experiences, struggles & achievements with others. You see this Screencap (Below, Left) from “2016’s Doctor Strange”, well look closely & you’ll see a tourist, wearing a colorful stripe shirt, a fedora hat, a backpack & sunglasses & you’ll be asking yourselves that he seems to be more dressed for the beach than walking around some dirty crowded alley, well...to be honest, that’s actually ME , Ethan Stranger, Myself & now you’re asking yourselves, how did a newcomer Blogger become an extra in a neverending superhero expanding franchise?
