1) Merge shapes will merge together if on the same layer, but drawing objects will not. Drawing objects get a box around them when selected, merge shapes don't.
2) You would double-click to select it.
3) If you put a shape on a different layer, the shapes wont merge together, it will be easier to remove later, and you can move them individually because they won't form one shape.

Super Powers
My superhero's name is Phoenix. She has the ability to control light and fire. This is her backstory:
Phoenix was born from the Sun. Her powers were a gift from the universe and the sun's never-ending power. Not unlike the sun, she was beautiful, but capable of being terrible. As an infant, she was sent down to earth to her grateful parents. They were unaware of her powers, since they did not emerge until her 13th birthday. It was sudden. Her parents thought she had a fever; her body temperature rose well over what it should be. Quickly, her temperature grew at extraordinary rates. It was barely safe to even touch her. Until one day, her parents did, and due to her uncontrollable powers, she burnt them to a crisp. She was traumatized. She realized the horrible potential of her powers of light and fire. After what happened with her parents, she decided that for the rest of her life she would use these incredible powers for only good. Deep inside she hoped that doing this would heal the burn in her heart from murdering her parents, even though it was not her fault.
At first, she was destined to be a villain. Naturally. Her powers were of such a force that she could dominate the world, destroying anyone in her way on the path to becoming the ruler of all earth. It was in her blood. But after the incident with her parents, a spark of empathy ignited, setting the stage for the change of heart and mind. She was fully aware, once her powers had fully developed, of the options she had. She would have loved to be evil; the sweet satisfaction of power and victory over all. But inside, Phoenix knew she had to use this compelling motivation and use it for good. It was not intended for her to have this sort of hope for the good; she was meant to be evil. Still, against uneven odds, Phoenix transformed into a hero. She was a beacon of hope, destroying enemies with her powers of intense light and fire manipulation. Though the guilt of murdering her parents still eroded her, she was able to rise from the ashes, like a Phoenix.

3 Life-Altering Events:
1) Trauma: Burning her parents by accident with her newly-formed powers
2) Destiny: She was created to be a villain, but decided to rise above that and be a hero
3) Chance: She was lucky that she was able to be good, and not be forced to be evil by fate
