my fans call me super hero
saving the world
killing one scumbag at a time
some may say “that’s no hero!”
but how many murders can one see?
or druggies getting released on the streets?
I tried to play the good guy
your friendly neighborhood Superman
but the system is broken
so I had to take things into my own hands
the moment when everything changed
I was looking into a case
a man suspected of a series of rapes
when I found him he admitted to that and more
killed at least 10 girls
took everything in me to not snap his neck
brought him back to the cops
only for him to be let out in a month
you see, he was a wealthy man
was in the pockets of every politician
no matter who I talked to
they just came up with excuses
was told to let it go, or else
but I couldn’t, wouldn’t
that’s when I arrived to Lois dead
they left a note that said “HAHAHA!!!”
after that I enslaved all who questioned me
it was clear
only I could be the true authority
humanity is no better than animals
ones that need disciplined
now all is at peace
all is right
even if the parents are skittish
and the children cry at night








Now that is power. To keep everyone safe he turned a bit dark, but it had to be done.
Superman engaging in what Jung called “shadow work”? Now that is an interesting concept….just wait ’til ol’ Supes gets a load of “shadow integration”….now that’s gonna get scary…
Powerfully penned, Nick. A darker side to the man of steel. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.
