Superman, the American Cincinnatus of the Skies, is my
lifelong favorite superhero character. But in the broadest sense, I regard all superheroes
as the same fantasy character — the
person who, out of deference to his fellow citizens, hides his great power until
all hope is almost lost, and then springs into swift, colorful action to avert
disaster. As the crowd cheers, and the spirit soars.
