Geocache Description:


"Up, up and away!" These are the iconic words that comprise the infamous catchphrase of the world's most "beloved" superhero. Many have spoken glowingly of the benefits that Superman has brought to our society, but who can say with certainty what this man truly is? Let us not be fooled: any man conceited enough to christen himself "super" is at best a shady character!

Sure, he saved the planet a few times, but is that alone enough to endear him to us? Even Al Capone knew that the best way to throw the authorities off his trail was to fake acts of heroism in public. Violent tendencies are, after all, among the most common side effects of excessive public adoration.

Let’s just assume, for a moment, that he really is a well-intentioned do-gooder; it’s not like we don’t have enough other evidence on which to convict him. Let’s examine his claim that he’s the ostracized orphan of an expatriate from an alien planet called… what was it called again? Krypton, that’s right. Now, does that sound like a plausible story? I mean, if I showed up one day, and claimed to be the reincarnation of the last Emperor of Atlantis, wouldn’t Superman be the first to brand me a lunatic?

Fortunately, we are not so easily deceived. Let us bring an end to this imbecilic idol-worship, and expose this… “super man” as the charlatan that he is! Only history can determine Kal-El’s legacy, but we’d be condemning ourselves if we simply watch and applaud as he overruns our planet! Unless we confront this menace immediately, our children will curse us for our indifference!
