According to Marco Carbajo, a Social Media Superhero is a person having a distinctive identity, extraordinary or exceptional personal, professional and promotional skills, tools and strong moral code, including a willingness to provide service for the greater good without expectation or reward.

Here are some of the traits of most powerful people in social media. They hold different expertise like the superheroes we admire.

• Powerful influence to your social media network is very vital. Develop a unique social identity and be consistent in providing valuable information to your networks such as articles, tweets, links or tools.
  Chris Brogan and Michel Fortin can be defined as the Superman of social media. They both have influential and powerful identities with their social communities to the extent that they consistently provide power value.

• There are many tools and gadgets which require your knowledge to boost your network. You can be a leader who is not scared to tackle responsibilities. You are also a creative thinker which always invent or find ways for the improvement of your social media community.
  Like Batman Jack Humphrey and Doug Firebaugh, they use their intellectual skills in their social communities. They both have the wisdom of the finest tools and gadgets in social media. A Blog Talk Monitor of Jack is a good example.

• Social awareness and stickiness to your message and brand is crucial. The more creative you craft with your messages, the higher the chances that it will easily stick to the minds of your targeted networks.

She was recently awarded as the “Top Underground Marketer of the Year” at Yanik Silver’s Underground 5 event.

• Expand the mind power of others. In social media do not control other people’s mind instead influence them.
  Just like Professor-X wherein he can easily influence the mind of human beings, Seth Godin and Darren Rowse are best examples. They constantly have something NEW which leads to the readers to think of different views.
