Small-Town Superhero

December 14, 2007

When did Wartburg become Smallville?
Wasn’t Clark Kent always a man?
And who the hell is Lana Laing?
So who is that kid that grew up to be me?

Is Michelangelo the reason I love Pizza?
Did Gambit teach me all my tricks?
Why did I never like The Hulk’s strength?
And is there a reason I fell in love with Rogue?
Wasn’t Peter Parker a photographer?
Is he this reason I climb walls?
Am I driving Kit or the Batmobile?
Did you see me pass through the room like The Invisible Man?
Or do you prefer the loud and proud He-Man type?
Does Professor-X even think this much?
And is that Archangel’s need to fly?

So who are these characters with different names?
And do I need the red jumpsuit or hats of disguise?
If I’m no superman, then why am I still trying to save the world?
