Super

On a rerun of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? just now, the question was:

In an apartment building, 'super' is short for which term?

A) Superintendent
B) Supermodel
C) Superhero
D) That guy in 5C [ugh]

In a perfect world, it would be C. Every apartment building should have its own superhero.

Make it a comic like Damage Control. Call it The Super. Watch as it fails to sell and is canceled, much to the dismay of its tiny but dedicated audience of three real-world supers.

I wonder how many Simpsons Comics stories have involved Superintendent Chalmers getting superpowers. Or maybe they're far too clever for that.
