Ok, I’m 44, Where the Hell Are My Superpowers?

Art by Jeff Durham...Go visit his site already!

I am confused (no, that is not my superpower). When I was a kid I was led to believe that… A) You can be whatever want when you grow up and…B) There were a lot of super heroes out there.

There are two types of super heroes…

Those that are born with superheroness (is that even word?) and those people that get superpowers later in life (usually due to some family tragedy or falling into a vat of nuclear waste).

Not opting for falling into a vat of nuclear waste (not sure where I would find one anyway), I think I am of the group that is suppose to “grow” into some sort of awe inspiring power. Helllooooo?! Is this thing on? I even have the spandex suit ready to go (don’t ask).

Well, nothing yet and I am wondering how long I am suppose to wait?

I am not complaining, but I’m not getting any younger. I need to be young enough to stay up late fighting crime, possess dashing looks to appear in photo shoots with the mayor, and the wit to come up with snappy lines for catching bad guys.

I suppose I could be some sort of hip “old” superhero – maybe protecting the front door at Wal-Mart while simultaneously working as a greeter. (I have seen those people – pretty sure that no one would ever suspect them of being superheroes).

Mmmmm, maybe I was meant to be a villain…

IF you had a superpower…what would it be?

    Invisibility. I’d be more of a snoopy superhero. without the superhero.
