Blue Ear[1] is a superhero in the Marvel Comics Universe. Marvel created the character in honor of Anthony Smith, a hearing-impaired 4-year old comic book fan from Salem, New Hampshire.[2] Smith has no hearing in his right ear and minimal hearing in his left because he suffers from Mosaic trisomy 22.[3] Smith was given a hearing aid by his mother, Christina D'Allesandro, and was using it regularly until he became depressed and refused to wear it because according to Smith "superheroes don't wear blue ears". D'Allesandro was alarmed by this and emailed Marvel Comics in New York City for assistance with the situation. Production artist Manny Mederos started working on a sketch of the Blue Ear once the letter arrived at the Marvel office. Mederos told Huffington Post that during the creative process, Mederos had an idea, "why not have the superhero be a young kid himself?".[4] Marvel Comics responded by sending D'Allesandro comics of Hawkeye from 1980's back when he lost 80% of his hearing and had to wear hearing aids, along with a drawing of "The Blue Ear", a superhero based on Anthony, saying "Thanks to my listening device I hear someone in trouble!".[5][6] D'Allesandro stated that Smith took the comic book pictures to his pre-school which pushed teachers to have a "superhero week".[7] Smith's grandfather, New Hampshire senator Lou D'Allesandro, stated "this is a feel good moment, it's a feel good story, and we've got to get the world to recognize that".[8]
