Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

As a child, Bart King discovered he could punch people into outer space. Sadly, he lost a lot of friends that way. Today, Bart is one of the world's most in-demand superhero experts. So if you're wondering if you have what it takes to be a superhero--of course you do! All you need is a burning desire to fight evildoers. Oh, and also a secret identity, the perfect name, a cool costume, some terrific superpowers, and an archenemy. Actually, you know what? You better get this book!

Bart King writes funny books for kids and immature adults. His titles--including The Big Book of Boy Stuff and The Big Book of Girl Stuff--have sold more than a half million copies. A longtime middle-school teacher, Bart is currently wearing his underwear over his pants. (Don't ask.)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-283).
