Product Description:
The Government Manual for New Superheroes is a hilarious, mock-official handbook that offers thorough, accessible, and completely zany advice for anyone who has always dreamed of donning a skintight spandex uniform and leaping across the rooftops of their cities. Going well beyond tights and capes, this manual provides insight into choosing a name, constructing a costume, choosing the right supertools of the supertrade, establishing a base of operations, maintaining a secret identity, taking or becoming a sidekick, joining a superheroic team, and even finding that special someone who gives meaning to a superhero's life-a nemesis.
Extra features include a roster of superhero unions, a registration application, several useful charts and tips, and even a list of other government-sponsored periodicals for further reading. Destined to become a cult classic, The Government Manual for New Superheroes is an essential guide for every aspiring superhero.

If you are into "How To" parody books, read The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead or How to Be a Villain: Evil Laughs, Secret Lairs, Master Plans, and More!!! instead.

It is the only text we use. I am a Superman collector and found this thru several books I have purchased with Amazon. I have purchased several superhero manuals and guides. This one is by far my favorite.
In my class, which takes about 10-15 forty minute class periods (depends how long it ... Read More

This book tries to be funny but does not quite succeed. If this book was a superhero it would be the INCREDIBLE LETDOWN.

I couldn't believe it when I hit puberty and my super-power began to manifest itself. It took significant amounts of experimentation to work out its parameters, but eventually I fixed it as the ability to raise the temperature of a man-sized-or-less body of water by exactly 2 degrees fahrenheit. Thus, I discovered that I could make a cool glass of water slightly less cool, that I commanded the illusion of perimenopause in women, and that ice sculptures defeated the expectations of their creators ...
