Are all super-heroes this weird?

--William Payton (New Earth)

You've tested my powers... cleaned my costume... seen me in my boxer shorts. I think you should start calling me by my name. It's Will.

--William Payton (New Earth)

Is it my Hair? Is it my Costume? It can't be my Powers. My Powers are cool. Maybe I have an Attitude and I don't realize it? Maybe. Is it my Breath? God, I hope not. I try to do the right thing. Even though I have no great Justification for doing it. I'm not some grim Avenger full of Hate for the Bad. I'm just a guy who I like to think has some Sense of Nobility. That and the Power of the Stars. And I right Wrongs and defeat Evildoers. And I talk the Talk and walk the Walk... or fly the Flight as the Case may be. So why is it? Why doesn't anybody like me?

--William Payton (New Earth)

You're an inspiration to so many people -- I'm sure I never would have put on a costume if it hadn't been for you! With all the crazyness going on in the world today, we need Superman!

--William Payton (New Earth)

My god. This is war, all right.

--William Payton (New Earth)

Take a good look at yourself, Deming! This is the face that caused us so much pain! Yeah, I can make myself look like you--but I'll never be like you! Never!

--William Payton (New Earth)
