Accidentally took this photo of my laptop during tech rehearsal yesterday. Cool angle, so I'm sharing it.
Looks like I was in the midst of modifying phone SFX.

What are your favorite powers, abilities, aspects of #Superman? Not the kind that show up on his stat sheets (superstrength, X-Ray). I'm talking...
Compassion
Kindness.
Empathy
Optimism
etc.
And what is a #comic issue, page, or panel that shows him with that power, ability, or aspect?
