Why Superman Became the KKK’s Worst Nightmare
Not all heroes wear capes, but some do. In this collection of true stories, we explore the many ways people channel the spirit of superheroes to fight injustice, spark imagination, and empower others. In this compilation, we meet the science teacher who channels Spider-Man to inspire his students, and a father who turns wheelchairs into incredible Halloween costumes fit for any Marvel or DC superhero. We revisit the moment Superman took on the Ku Klux Klan, and celebrate a cosplayer rewriting what it means to be a hero. These are everyday people doing extraordinary things, and reminding us what being a superhero is really about.
