"Canon City was burning.
Perhaps he shouldn’t have set it on fire."
A concise, single story of heroism and stupidity.
John Smith, an alien from another planet, landed in Canon City and immediately realised he was a superhero. He is The Common Man, tolerated by the citizens and mocked by the villains.
In five tight chapters, he leaps tall buildings, saves an out of control bus, and destroys a house with an unfortunate bodily excretion.

-Divertido desde lo ridículo.-
Género. Relato.
Lo que nos cuenta. John Smith, alias The Common Man, es un superhéroe que embutido en su traje rojo, azul y blanco protege Canon City de las amenazas y trata de unir a la humanidad. Pero su viaje desde el planeta Mauro, desde el que su padre Elaine y su madre Derek (sí, en serio) le mandaron a la Tierra para sobrevivir, le permitió aprender todo sobre su destino en un viaje de mil años durante el que lamentablemente sólo un pequeño informe de diez minutos se repetía una y otra vez.

Interesting, unique
A superhero spoof that is moronic, but teaches a lesson. A humorous combination that will leave you thinking. And wanting more.

Parts of it were funny. But other parts were a bit rushed and a little confusing. On the whole, it was weird.
And I didn't expect it to be so weirdly sexual.
