"I'll be honest, when I first joined up with the whole hero gig it was all for kicks, a potential popularity boost. But it's more than that. I help people, I save lives. I may not be the most powerful superhero in the world, but I'm sure as hell not gonna let that get me down. As long as it's here, I'll never give up on this world."
