Product Description:
Are you naturally amazing? Have you been sent here from a distant dying solar system? Do you have a preoccupation with dubious rubber suits?
If any of the above apply, then The Superhero Handbook is for you! Find the answers to all your questions, plus lots of advice on how to develop your superhero potential. You'll soon learn that you're not alone, that your retro hairstyling choices are perfectly normal, and that there's more to being a superhero than saving the planet, changing in phone booths, and struggling to disguise your fatal flaws.
On the heels of the movie releases of Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith, Batman Begins, and Fantastic Four, everyone will be asking themselves, "Am I a superhero, too?" Unveil your true identity.

Any book that features a paragraph disclaimer, before the first page, advising readers to ignore all of the advice found within requires a second look. When that book is called The Superhero Handbook it also requires a thorough reading.
I don't read comic books, but I do know my fair share of superhero facts. I also enjoy a masked crusader as much as the next person and, let's face it. that's probably a lot. Doesn't everyone want to be a superhero at least a little bit?

This book had the single virtue of being short, so that the suffering was not prolonged, so I will be similarly brief. There's been an outburst of faux-manuals about how to become a superhero, or survive robot or zombie attacks. Some are quite excellent. Others are just average. And a few are coming in at the tail end of the trend in a naked bid to cash in. This book is of the last variety. Overpriced for its skimpy content and exceptionally unfunny attempts at humor, it is to be avoided. It is not one ... Read More

Whether you are a mutant or some crazy guy who loves capes this is one of the most instructive books you'll ever read on how to be a super hero.
Important topics such as breaking through walls, catchphrases that should never be used, excuses for breaking a date, hideout and mode of transportation, and of course the ever important rules to think about when hiring a side-kick (and coming up with a more ridiculous costume for them).
For those unsure about the dark side, this manual ... Read More

Michael Powell presents us with a short and humorous text on what you need to do to be a superhero. Beginning with symptoms/traits of superheroism budding inside you, selecting a name and costume, accessorizing with sidekicks, tips for wisely choosing you arch-nemesis, selecting appropriate catchphrases and headquarters, carefully choosing your day-job and how to protect your alter (civilian) ego, even what to do once you get on in years and shouldn't be mainstream superheroing anymore.

This delightfully brilliant and silly book called my name in the Public Library in San Francisco's Mission district. And I have since bought two copies. It is a semi-serious little handbook with quite pragmatic advice on being a superhero. It contains warnings about possible pitfalls, and some sound advice on how to juggle jobs, relationships, liability issues while saving the world from evil. It is a must-have for any superhero or as a gift for that special superhero in your life. Excuse me, I need to go ... Read More
