An Ode to the SUPpressed HEROES

Is it a bird? Is it a man in tights with a red cape just goofing around in the clouds? No, it’s Superman! Where there’s trouble, you can count on him to set things right. And he fights more than just bad guys. He repairs broken bridges, about-to-collapse buildings and out-of-fuel airplanes. But the only thing that instills fear in people’s hearts is that someone may get the deadly Kryptonite from Krypton (which is about the only thing that can stop him) and thus sap all the guy’s powers. A chilling thought.
Meanwhile, on a place definitely on Earth, there’s the overgrown version of a scary anthropoid taking human shape. Yes, you got it. Good old Spiderman. The deal here is that there’s nothing to take his web stuff away from him, but the people in his city just plain don’t like the poor fellow. Aw, it’s alright buddy. Mary Jane does. Meanwhile the spider’s cousin (or however you want to associate things), the bat: flies. And fly it does. In the most state-of-the-art car that today’s Great engineers can think of. Because sadly, he is a normal human being like all of us. Oh, but how selfless to devote his time for the good of the community? Will someone please start handing tissues here?
Let’s talk equality now. The spotlight moves to Wonder Woman. An Amazon with nerves of steel and a heart made of an alloy of gold and iron (let’s call it goron). She’s so gorony (for the want of a better word) that she would have made a good actress or a model. But like all her “colleagues” she gave it up for us. Indeed what would we be without them?
And I almost forgot about Captain Planet, but that’s another story. Apparently, his life’s just perfect.
