Superman is definitely a worthy superhero, but, when our democracy has historically gone through troubled times, its future in the balance, a few real heroes have stepped up to the plate. For details, see https://cynthiajcoan.substack.com/p/can-this-democracy-be-saved.

I have always loved Superman (and Wonder Woman), who were always there for the downtrodden. Thank you for reminding us that each of us can use our powers for combatting evil! This has improved my day. Thanks also for continuing to be our cheerleaders.

Excellent post, Fitz! First, the pictures are great, and fun, but what's most impressive is your hard-hitting message about "the most corrupt President in our history"!

I love the idea of all of us being mini-supermen or superheroes, rather. Thanks for your encouragement & optimism!

Yes, I too need your encouragement and enlightenment. I’m not ready to despair just yet and a fan of superhero’s. Your Substack today was “Super”!
