Superhero

Superhero su·per·he·ro [soo-per-heer-oh]

–noun, plural -roes.
:a hero, esp. in children's comic books and television cartoons, possessing extraordinary, often magical powers.



: a fictional hero having extraordinary or superhuman powers; also : an exceptionally skillful or successful person


To me, a superhero is all of the above with one exception..... no way he can be an earthling.

No way he can be an earthling if "he" is going to save mankind.

"He" simply cannot be human.

Lets suppose we do have a real life superhero in our world, like a Spiderman or a Batman, what, how would we see them as, will they really be God-like worshipped? Answer is no, because they're human-being themselves like you and me, they will be accepted the same way people accept any other exceptionally skillful and successful "super-human" like lets say, Einstein, Bill Gates, or even A-Rod. They're accepted with admiration for what they have accomplished mix with criticism and jealousy because they're too are human and people will compare them with these super-humans everyday, everyday saying to themselves "hey! why not me"?


But what if our Superhero is someone out of this world? Well then, I guarantee there will not be any such mixed receptions from us earthlings. No comparison, no jeaolusy!. "He" will be receive in only one way, "he" will be treated like he's "God", or most likely "he" will be God. "he" will always be high and above all of us. And we won't even think about anything about "him" to complaint about. No comparison, no jealousy, no contest.


And there shall be peace in this world, our world. All race, all cultures, all earthling will come together. Coming together and share laughs. Sharing laughters and joke around all those silly hate we once have for each other. Hatred for each other simply because of being different.


And whenever our Superhero goes flying from here to Galaxy NGC 1313 during his winter break, re-shift Earth's position a few hundred miles away from the Sun when "he" wants to cool down our planet, or munching all the nukes all the WMDs for breakfast, "his" every action will forever remind us how weak we are, how vulnerable, how mortal, how......how equal we are.


On the other hand, if our Superhero is not some ET but an earthling, who once as weak as us before inheriting superpower????, we would then say to ourselves, "Damn, why did that stupid motherfucking spider bit him and not me?"
