human superheroes

Everyone has the potential to do great things.  More than the saints and superheroes can apply for such work.  After all, we are all human.  And we are all capable.  We just need to believe we have something worth giving.

This gave me hope.

"Beyond that, it seems self-defeating to want our heroes to be perfect, because we aren't perfect ourselves. As Sides says, 'By calling our heroes superhuman we also let ourselves off the hook: Why do the hard work of bettering the world if that’s something only saints do?'"
