My absolute favorite superpower of his has always been his humanity. When I was a kid my brother hated Superman because he was too much of a powerhouse. A god walking among men and with a whim, he could enslave or kill us, too boring he said. But that didn't make it boring for me. That's what made me love him even more. He could do anything but he doesn't. It never even crosses his mind. (His mother would tan his hide if it ever did.) Instead of doing whatever he wants, he saves squirrels. He calms down scared ladies on roofs and smiles at everyone, and always tries to talk everyone down first. Because his mom and dad taught him humanity. They taught him that no act of kindness is ever wasted. That one person can make a difference no matter how big or small. One person could save a life or hell even help tear down a dictator. How very punk rock of them indeed.
