Being a Superhero sucks.

Being a superhero is tiring because constantly saving people who more then likely got them selves into that situation and should get themselves out of it will take it out of you. The graphic novel "Watchmen" and the song "Superman's Song" both show the grueling life of a superhero. Rorchat is a superhero in "Watchmen", he is this epitome of a superhero doing good and not expecting anything in return. Just like they say in the Superman Song "Even though he could have smashed through any bank, In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not" Rorchat has the ability to do bad (and most certainly the mind set) he does not, although he does do some bad while doing good as he once burned a man alive in his hunt to find the kidnapper of a little girl. When society is blessed with a superhero then get used to it, and they abuse it, these superheros more then likely feel used. Rorchat is sickened by the people and the way they just look up for someone to save them for every little thing. The song mentions how when superman was stopping crimes he was "tempted to just quit and turn his back", Rorchat constantly wants to quit his trade and leave these people to fend for themselves but just like Superman in his song "He stayed in the city", kept fighting and at the end of the day "nothing to do but go on home".

Mary

Mary Mary quite contrary...but is she? According to the bible Mary is the mother of Jesus, Mary Christine Grafin Von Westphalen Zu Furstenberg is the modern day mother of Jesus, she is that perfect. Mary was manufactured in Germany, and we know the Germans make good things (just look at VW beetle, best car in the world.). She is also very talented, she is a sandwich making machine, I give them 5 stars and the way she backs her 1995 neon into a parking stall is equivalent to a Nascar drivers skills. I would say Mary along with being the modern day mother of Jesus is like a little doll for me to dress up and play with, she countlessly lets me put silly things are her head and with out and direction sticks her head of the car window and makes a fool of her self with me. I recommend Mary to anyone who is looking for a fun friend but if you have a cat allergy or a hate for them in general and/or have a sour spot for made up word I'd recommend you stray away from this particular product (her cat Caboose will scratch and kill you). All around Mary is a three thumbs up person Just don't feed her, she bites.

Normal people aka Murders

When someone thinks about murder, they would never expect an oridnary normal person to be involved, they jump to phyco mental patients and serial killers, but if one was to be realistic ordinary, normal people commint terrible violent crimes all the time. A soilder, also known to many as heros, they're job titles entiles that they protect and fight for their country, it doesnt point out that they also are killing for a living, sure its for a "justified" reason, but a husband killing a wife because she cheated on him also might be a "justified" reason in the eyes of the beholder. As long as people are convinced what they're doing is normal and okay they have no problem doing in, in "The Lottery" written by Shirley Jackson the people who lived in the town grew up thinking that picking off someone to kill everyonce and while randomly was okay, to them it was grusom and unhumuain at all.

Superpower Bliss.

If i could have any superpower which would it be? This is a question that I have many times thought about. The power to have all power would be my first pick but some might define that as cheating so I've decided upon mind control. The reason mind control appeals to me to much is because it can be used for or evil. Having the ability to control one mind would make like so much easier, I could be at Starbucks and realized i forgot my wallet I could control the Batista's mind to just give me the coffee for free, Bonus! I wouldn't just use it for my own benefit, every once and awhile i would help the mortals of the world by convincing robbers to drop the money and get in the back of the cop car, or make Baskin Robins give out free ice cream (that just makes everyone happy). Whether it's used for the good of man kind, or to completely take over the world mind control would be a very hand skill to have on my belt.
