Superheros are not born superheros. They become one. However strong an argument you put across, its very hard to prove that Superman would have been the same superhero if he had chosen not to use his superpowers for the good of mankind. On the same lines of argument - if Batman had not vowed to avenge his parents death and fight for justice. Even Phantom. The list continues singularly into proving the above point.
But consider the superheros that actually exist. Along one's journey of life, there befalls various situations that brings forth the superhero in them. Its a conscious choice, to act like one or to walk away from the situation. We lack a Superman in our world but there are many who compensate for his absence. These real life superheros are special. Much like Superman. They too had their chance to make the decision. And they did take the one that meant less to them and more to someone else.
Turtleneck is one of them. Although she is oddly named, her powers are not to be underestimated. She is powerful, intelligent, and has the panache that makes her special. Her peculiar name is worth a few notes. Her fashion sense is always in vogue and keeps track of dépêche mode. Its pretty easy to guess, that she wears Turtleneck garments and so the origin of her name. She still is a bit shy about the fame factor, notwithstanding, very famous among the circles. My sympathies for those who do not know her. There have been numerous times when she has rescued me from imminent danger. Its hard not to be indebted to her. Its like owing mafia a favor. Not that she is mafia, but thats the feeling that lingers around. You would want to help back but whatever you do, its not really matching the standards you see. Why blog about her?
Well, this is an ode to Turtleneck for all the superhero stuff she manages even afer doing her day to day chores. :)
