| Introduction | When I was a kid my mom would buy me underwear with the superheroes on them. For a while I had Spiderman then Batman, and I think The Flash. The rule was as long as I kept them clean she would periodically buy them. I remember they had little girl panties too with ponies and rainbows and I wouldn’t be surprised if my sister had a pair. But I wasn’t concerned with what she was wearing, not when evil-doers were lurking behind every corner. I remember the mornings most vividly. Putting on a new pair of Superman briefs was like slipping into costume. Villains beware! The front yard became Metropolis and I was invincible. I flew over the swing-set snaring evil henchmen. With my super strength I lifted heavy objects and threw them over the fence, used my x-ray vision to defuse a bomb under my dad’s station wagon. I ran laps around the house at full speed, circling the earth. Before long my mother would appear on the porch, yell at me to come inside and put some pants on. There was a Kryptonite glint in her eyes. A quick spin-kick to the birdbath ensured the bad guys could never brainwash her again. |
