This is a fantastic article. I love Superman and will always defend him as an interesting character. His greatest power is his parents and the way they raised him. I choke up every time I think about it now that I have an 8-month old son of my own. When I see him, I am reminded of baby Clark and how I have the opportunity and privilege of raising a good man.

Thank you so much! And congratulations on your son. I'm sure you both will soon share a love of Supes and all things noble. Thank you again for your kind words, and I wish you all the success in the world with your family!

Right on! I have a deep passion for superheroes and comic books. I need to find an angle that is unique to me so I can write an article as good as yours!

You're too kind! I'm going to spend some time on your work as well. If you're interested in writing about superheroes, I highly recommend "The Hero With A Thousand Faces," by Josephy Campbell. You likely have heard of it before, but the content isn't the only reason to read it. It also gives methods for thinking about heroes and why they matter.
