Meet Hailey Scheinman, the newest Marvel Comics hero. She’s your typical 14-year-old girl: She loves Iron Man and Captain America and wants to go to space one day. But Hailey also wants to make the world a better place for people with disabilities. She’s one of 20 real-life super heroes in the new series Marvel’s Hero Project, which streams exclusively on Disney+. Hailey’s episode airs this month.
Hailey’s origin story begins with her twin sister, Livy, who has epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Epilepsy causes seizures, or uncontrolled movements and behaviors. Cerebral palsy affects Livy’s movement and causes muscle weakness. “We needed to fund her physical therapy,” Hailey says. “I didn’t understand the hardships she was going through, but I always wanted to help her.”
