Thank you Superman.  I thank you and geeks around the world thank you.  You have given us decades of joy.  Maybe not from your comics (they sucked from 1960-1986 and then again through the 1990s), but for something more important.  You started the super hero genre.  Yes, you Mr. Modest.  Thanks to you, we have thousands of spandex-clad heroes to idolize and emulate.  From the pleasure of reading our monthly comics to safety pinning a towel as a cape, you have changed our lives.  So thank you for that.  Oh, and for saving the world all those times.  That was nice.
