11 Reasons Why Meredith Grey Is A Superhero

For the past 12 seasons, Meredith Grey endured great pain and suffering on "Grey's Anatomy." Only three characters stuck with her at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, but no one else suffered the hardships she did. It has reached such an absurd level that the only explanation is that she's invincible or has a super power. To prove this, I'm comparing Meredith Grey's experience with that of superhero to illustrate that she could join the Avenger Initiative.

1. Drowning

In season three, we learn that Meredith can't swim because she nearly drowns in the freezing water of Seattle. But, compared to Aquaman, her swimming could be worse.

2. Explosion

In season two, Meredith caught a bomb lodged in someone's chest. She also stood too close and was blown back from the explosion. But, she wasn't admitted into the hospital! She took a shower and moved on. That is a Batman level pain tolerance, even though Batman knows to walk away from an explosion rather than stand to watch it.

3. Crashed and stuck in the wild for days

How can anyone forget the awful plane crash from season eight? For days, Meredith and several others were stuck in the wilderness of Washington for days. Some were injured and some died. If they stayed out any longer, she and her friend would have needed to learn how to hunt with a makeshift bow and arrow.

4. Lost the love of her life suddenly

Oh gosh, it still gets me every time. After 11 seasons, Derek Shepard was tragically written off of the show. As soon as the two of them were happy—BAM—he was hit by a truck. It was equally tragic as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy except, you know, Gwen had her spine broken.

5. Lost her mother to a terminal disease and had their final words echoing in her head in times of trouble

Who could forget Meredith's mother? Although she died in season three, she is far from gone. There are several times when Meredith flashes back to her mom's final words, as Peter Quill does in "Guardian's Of The Galaxy." The only difference is that the audience mourned Starlord's mom.

6. Lost a friend doing something selfless and heroic

George's death in season six was one of the cruelest death for the fans. It still makes me tear up when I watch it. It was similar to Quicksilver's death in "Avengers Age Of Ultron." The only comfort is knowing that they both died saving someone else.

7. Has no fear of bullets

The shooting in season six ended with one of the most stressful and traumatic events of the entire show. After her husband was shot, the most logical thing Meredith could think of to save him was to be shot herself. It's as though she thinks that she's as bullet proof as Superman.

8. Saw their sibling die

To return to the that awful plane crash of season eight, it was also when we lost the lovable Lexipedia. Funny how someone as innocence as her can make you tear up as much as the guilty Loki.

9. Loosing her "person"

One of the best parts of the show was Cristina's and Meredith's friendship. After Cristina left in Season 10, the twisted sisters are no more. If only Meredith would go off to find her at all cost like Steve did with Bucky.

10. Suffering numerous beatings and being fine

Seriously, this is similar to the explosion all over again. All of these things happen in one episode, but she is perfectly fine in the next. At least it's not as cheesy as Green Lantern against Darkseid.

11. Seemingly lost a significant other to a crazed murderer and shouted dramatically

At least neither Coulson and Derek died in these instances, but it was still dramatic and heart-wrenching to watch.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
