Today, people are starving, kidnapping children, and blowing whole.
If only there were someone to fly around the world and.
pass out a lives worth of food to each person; someone to sail across the seas.
to hunt down the kidnappers and bring them to "justice"; or even someone to.
soar high into the sky and stop a bomb with their bare hands. That is where our.
heroes come in; yes we do have our great policemen and firemen, but if we had.

men had unbelievable strengths and feared no person. They would hunt down.
the unequitable and sentence them to justice.
