"Look, Up In The Sky! It's A Bird! It's A Plane!"....Well, you know the rest, don'tcha? A superhero flies by and saves the day. Too bad there aren't really superheroes, huh? Then again...maybe there are...while perusing my local cage liner online, my eye was captured by a rather odd picture with the by-line: Mr. Silent- Indy's masked crimefighter. It seems that I might be missing something, here. The nearby Metropolis of Indianapolis has a crimefighting Superhero? In fact, as further research turns up the fact that the Circle City has a few Superheroes. There's Doktor DiscorD, Ronan Stalker, Kid Christ, Captain Whiskey, The Green Discharge and the Apostolic Avenger...wow, and here I thought the Circle City's pre-eminent Hero was Capt. Corruption! (Of course the good Captain has been absent of late, so go figure that someone has stepped up to fill his mighty boots!).I like this concept. Individuals assuming a role that fulfills them and allows them to do....something. Perhaps this is a fitting outlet for Heinlein's Crazy Years. Perhaps, it's a symbol. And, maybe it's just some folks having some crazy fun. "When the going gets weird...." They get on MySpace...
