I'm the smartest man in the world. Once I wore a cape in public, and fought battles against men who could fly, who had metal skin, who could kill you with their eyes. I fought CoreFire to a standstill, and the Super Squadron, and the Champions. Now I have to shuffle through a cafeteria line with men who tried to pass bad checks. Now I have to wonder if there will be chocolate milk in the dispenser. And whether the smartest man in the world has done the smartest thing he could do with his life. ↗

I cannot help thinking that the menace of Hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains. ↗

When my father was arrested, we didn't know where they had him. My mother found him at the house of torture. It was called Villa Triste. ↗
