You've seen the common heroes of the world like Superman. You watch him and with your mouth agape, gaze in awe as he deals with bad guys. But have you ever wondered why? The superheroes we know don't request for any money at all. They just do good things like catching bank robbers. Bank robbers are another point, Superheroes, if they do exist in these bank-infested cities, would have to put a lot of effort into finding the correct bank of the money for no particular sum of money.

Wierd? You're telling me, I think the banks are another reason all the Superheroes went A.W.O.L. (Absence Without Leave) and only sprout up again in the future, when a bad financial plague hits us and leaves behind empty stashes and wallets! So thus, my question: "Why are heroes heroes?" Please take note that this is not an IQ question nor a trick question. I am hereby honestly asking members of the public and people of the world. Now stop reading for this question to sink in.

Ever heard a hero say, "O.K. dudes, I'm going to get you hostages out of here, but you have to pay me fifty bucks each. While you're at it, give me a bonus of a hundred, each of you, for me to take care of the terrorists." Hmm... Nope. Superman might be able to, but what about normal Vigilantes? "O.K. dudes, I'm-" BANG! And your city Vigilante's dead! Here's a time to quote those phrases and cliches in steps:

  1. Keep calm and carry on.
  2. Someone will come and get us, don't worry.
  3. I died here, slowly, but with honor.

Yes, a cruel and evil world the world is without the man of steel. A cold, sour, bitter one indeed. So get your search teams together, if we can flush Tarzan out of the jungle, we'll be back in business while my question still lingers in the air...


"WHY ARE HEROES HEROES?"

WATCH OUT FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THIS STORY: TARZAN, KING OF THE APES.
