When we were younger, many of us wanted to be superheroes, pretending to be able to fly, move objects with our minds, and play superhero games with our friends.
The closest many of the lucky ones have come to this is acting. This includes Krysten Ritter, who plays the character Jones herself in the Netflix portrayal of the superhero slash investigator. The show, streaming on Netflix, is aptly and simply named after the central character herself, "Jessica Jones."
Next to this character is Rachael Taylor, who plays Trish Walker, Jones' adopted sister and superhero Hellcat; Eka Darville, who plays her neighbor Malcolm Ducasse and Carrie-Anne Moss, who plays the intern, Jeri Hogarth, to name a few.
While most of us won't become professional actors and star in a major superhero franchise, and it's doubtful that we will gain any super abilities, there are ways to access the power we already have within. Read these 28 Trent Shelton quotes to remind you of your true power.
