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?
