What is your favorite Superhero?

I am a huge comic book nerd.  So is my husband.  So are most of my kids.  I was reading one of my favorites, Jupiter's Legacy (new book from Mark Millar....excellent!), and I got to thinking about who my favorite superhero has to be.

I realized I have a couple.

• In life, my superhero is God.  There is no more powerful or benevolent being in my life.  The feelings and wonders that amaze me every day are proof of His power and love.
• In my home, it is my husband.  He has powers that are unbelievable.  He can find the missing sock I have been looking for forever.  My husband can walk in and find that can of peas I have standing there looking for and couldn't see.  He can find my keys, sunglasses, shoes, purse, debit card....even after I have spent hours looking.  He knows me better than I do.
• In the movies, my superhero is Thor.  I have always loved the story of Thor, from a mythology standpoint.  And, in Adventures in Babysitting, I loved the whole "Thor" part, in which Vincent D'Onofrio plays Thor.  But I LOOOOOOOOVED the Marvel movie, Thor!  LOVED it!
• In comic books, my favorite superhero is Scooby Doo.  I love Scooby Doo.  NOW...I understand that some may not consider Scooby Doo a superhero, but I would fight that.

You see, Scooby Doo always fought the bad guys.  And he always won.  He is friends with Batman and the Globe Trotters and Casey Kasem.  He is legendary!  And, in the end, the monsters were not as bad as we originally thought and everyone always got a Scooby Snack.

Don't you wish life was that way?  But isn't it?  Think about the monsters in life?  The bad guys...they are really just broken people who do bad things.  If we break it down to that, we can take the power they have for making us hurt and live in misery away.  They are just people and they do not have any special powers we don't.  The power they have to hurt us...we give them.

We just have to pull the mask off.  And don't forget your Scooby Snack!
