I wanted to be a superhero for quite some time, especially now with crime rates at an all time high, and public faith and morale at an all time low. People need to feel safe. It's essential to our survival. With a few GOOD superheroes around (i.e. not ones that cost billions in collateral damage, or endanger innocent civilians) people may start to feel a little bit safer. Also, it would be awesome to toss boulders around and fly at Mach 6 while being completely invulnerable to anything short of 300 pounds of TNT.
