# --description--

Before building out the form itself, you will create the state variables you need. They are `heroName`, `realName`, `powerSource`, and `powers`.

For now, create the variables and setters for `heroName` and `realName`. Both should have an initial value of empty strings.

# --hints--

You should use the array destructuring syntax to set a `heroName` state variable and a `setHeroName` setter.

```js
assert.match(code, /(const|let|var)\s+\[\s*heroName\s*,\s*setHeroName\s*\]/);
```

Your `heroName` and `setHeroName` should use the `useState` hook.

```js
  const abuseState = __helpers.spyOn(React, "useState");
  const script = [...document.querySelectorAll("script")].find((s) => s.dataset.src ===  "index.jsx").innerText;
  const exports = {};
  const _a = eval(script);
  const _b = await __helpers.prepTestComponent(exports.SuperheroForm);

  assert.isAtLeast(abuseState.calls.length, 1);
```

Your `useState` hook for `heroName` should have an initial value of empty string.

```js
  const abuseState = __helpers.spyOn(React, "useState");
  const script = [...document.querySelectorAll("script")].find((s) => s.dataset.src ===  "index.jsx").innerText;
  const exports = {};
  const _a = eval(script);
  const _b = await __helpers.prepTestComponent(exports.SuperheroForm);
  
  assert.strictEqual(abuseState.calls[0]?.[0], "");
```

You should use the array destructuring syntax to set a `realName` state variable and a `setRealName` setter.

```js
assert.match(code, /(const|let|var)\s+\[\s*realName\s*,\s*setRealName\s*\]/);
```

Your `realName` and `setRealName` should use the `useState` hook.

```js
  const abuseState = __helpers.spyOn(React, "useState");
  const script = [...document.querySelectorAll("script")].find((s) => s.dataset.src ===  "index.jsx").innerText;
  const exports = {};
  const _a = eval(script);
  const _b = await __helpers.prepTestComponent(exports.SuperheroForm);

  assert.isAtLeast(abuseState.calls.length, 2);
```

Your `useState` hook for `realName` should have an initial value of empty string.

```js
  const abuseState = __helpers.spyOn(React, "useState");
  const script = [...document.querySelectorAll("script")].find((s) => s.dataset.src ===  "index.jsx").innerText;
  const exports = {};
  const _a = eval(script);
  const _b = await __helpers.prepTestComponent(exports.SuperheroForm);

  assert.strictEqual(abuseState.calls[1]?.[0], "");
```
