The NaPoWriMo prompt was to create a new Superhero. This is my response.
No Can Do
Who needs another superhero? Aren’t there enough?
Thinking up another one is going to be rough.
Of Doctors, Bats and Green ones, it seems we’ve had our fill,
and Possum Girl or Rat Boy doesn’t seem to fill the bill.
All heroic adjectives have already been used.
“Incredible” and “Super” I fear have been abused.
So what’s a gal to do when asked to make a new one?
I think that I must answer, it’s impossible to do one!!
Just for the record, I actually did create a superhero poem a few years ago for NaPoWriMo. If you’d like to check it out, HERE is a link.
This is an alphabetically ordered list of superheroes from Encyclopaedia Britannica and DC Comics:

Yup, we already have too many of them.
