There. That right there is it. Basically perfection.
So I just looked up the definition of superhero on Dictionary.com and it said a hero is someone possessing extraordinary super powers. So, obviously, that's not batman. Neither is it Iron Man. Or the Black Widow. Hawkeye just had a really attractive affinity for the bow and arrow. Even Captain America just had "enhancements" and a cool shield. None of these are the dictionary definition of superhero. I know, it ruined my day a little as well.
As a child, being a superhero was the number one thing on my list when people asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" It would seriously be awesome to have superpowers, to have the opportunity to do so much good.
Right now, with our country in such turmoil, it may feel like we're powerless because we are so small and insignificant. Yet, I remind you of Batman! Or Hawkeye! OR CAPTAIN AMERICA!
Sometimes I still hold on to my childish dream of being a superhero, but then I ask myself why I would cling to the idea of capes and masks when I could attach myself to something more? Isaiah 53:7 is definitely SOMETHING MORE. It's what I strive for.
To leave you, I'll post one song I think sticks with my theme. Help I'm Alive by Metric.
