I just read a blog written by a guy who had some things to say about what a guy wants. I am always up for suggestions so I thought I would read his list of ideas for understanding men. Most of his ideas were written, tongue in cheek style. At least I hope they were because if he meant half of what he said he is in serious denial. He said things like men are perfect. Men can fix anything. etc. etc. LOL Yeah, right. The remark that caught my attention was that he said men are super heroes. Hmmm. That made me think for a bit.

Are men super heroes? I think they are. My husband is a super hero. He doesn’t have webbed feet and can’t fly without buying an airline ticket but he is still a super hero to me.

Wiikipedia gives the definition of a super hero as:

A superhero (also known as a superhero) is a fictional character”of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest.”^] Since the debut of the prototypal superhero Superman (TM DC Comics) in 1938, stories of superheroes — ranging from brief episodic adventures to continuing years-long sagas — have dominated American comic books and crossed over into other media. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine or super heroine.

By most definitions, characters need not have actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes, although sometimes terms such as costumed crimefighters are used to refer to those without such powers who have many other common traits of superheroes.

So, how do you spoil a super hero?  Well, what are his powers?  Does he keep your cars running? Give him a gift certificate to his favorite auto parts store.  Can he fix anything around the house? Give him a shopping spree at his favorite home improvement store. Is he a whiz in the kitchen? Buy him the latest cookbook or kitchen gadget?  Whatever you do, make sure the super hero in your life knows how much you appreciate everything they do to make your life better.
