Colombia-based artist Jaime Calderon supersizes the Facebook Like icon to reflect the hands of legendary heroes. From a raging Hulk hand to the web-spinning gloves of Spiderman, these superheroes take on the most popular social media icon. Through these images, the artist is able to prove just how powerful social media and the influence of the Like button has become. Calderon states on his website, "we'll all be heroes one day," and with the help of social media this might be sooner rather than later. Users must recall the words of Uncle Ben in Spiderman that with great power comes great responsibility.
Some of the heroes featured in the 'Super-Like' series include: Superman, Thor, Batman, Green Lantern and Wolverine. Jaime Calderon definitely deserves a thumbs up for these iconic images. Now someone just needs to suggest these epic hand gestures to Mark Zuckerberg for implementation on Facebook.
