The reason that I have chosen these three icons is because they significant to the world of popular culture we live in today. First, Oprah grew up in an abused childhood and fought through many hard battles to get where she is today. She has accomplished so much in her lifetime and has been called many honoring titles.

 Superman

Superman is a fictional comic book superhero. Superman was created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born American artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio. With the triumph of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its dominance within the American comic book. Superman has a very distinctive presence and has made his uniform a pop icon for young children and adults all over the world by wearing a blue, red and yellow costume complete with cape, with a stylized "S" shield on his chest. This shield is famous all over the world for Halloween costumes, t-shirts, and tattoos. Superman is one of the all-time best superhero that has left an impression on children’s lives all across the world. 

  Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan is a retired professional basketball player, active entrepreneur, and majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. In my opinion he is the greatest basketball player that has ever played and I think that many others would agree as well. Not only did he play basketball but he also tried baseball. One thing that is still a huge hit each year is his shoe endorsement of the Nike Air Jordan’s. Not only was he a symbol for the NBA but is now a successful business man that has set the bar extremely high for other professional athletes. Michael Jordan was an amazing basketball player and I watched him growing up my entire childhood and glad that he is still considered a pop culture icon.
