Sooner or later, we are all superheroes.
Superman wears a costume. As we all do.
He isnβt great at time management, always focused on the urgency at hand instead of investing in long-term planning.
He rarely works to change the foundational system heβs part of.
Supervillians exist in opposition to him and his work. Without him, they have no purpose.
He has a closely-guarded secret identity he doesnβt want the world to see.
Reputation, trust and good work are at the heart of his brand.
He misses home. In fact, his uniform is made from his baby blanket.
When technology evolves, he gains new powers.
In the official narrative, the Bechdel test is rarely passed. We can tell better stories than that.
His best exploits involve thoughtful strategy. The punching is boring.
When it counts, he shows up with bravery.
His most important relationships are based on mutual trust.
It turns out that bending steel with his bare hands is a distraction from the real point.
