Stan Lee's "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" is a great concept. I loved last season, and I spent many silly minutes with my children while they told me what their superhero would be.My daughter's Superhero was going to use Hello Kitty stickers to plaster on the bad guys and these stickers would apparently suffocate them. I liked the dichotomy of sweetness and horrible slow death. Thats my girl.My son was going to be some sort of magnetically propelled Superhero. I got a sideache laughing about the vision of him having to find a magnetic energy that would thrust him forward. And what about when he found that perfect opposite? Oh sure, he'd get to that point with great speed, but how would he get away?My own initial Superhero was some sort of Flora/Fauna Freak. She had a tumbleweed for a hat, and it was filled with small forest creatures that would rush out and do her bidding. I've evolved.My new Superhero is called The C.O.G. - The Child Of God. The costume shows a cosmic machine design - a Yin/Yang turning upon a Star of David, which would raise a Tree of Life, and at the top would pop a Star and Crescent. All the ideology that leads to Divinity would be represented in some way. The purpose of this hero would be to show love to all and any. To uplift those stumbling and lost, and to shine a light on those that are displaying the traits that validate the sense that we are all C.O.G.s -There wouldn't be a beat down of the devil, just an unstoppable updraft from the wings of soul flyers.I know that some people are afraid of being a part of the Great Machine. We fight so hard to become individuals and then the realization comes that we are part of something larger and connected. There's nothing to fear. The C.O.G. would make clear that every little movement within the Great Machine is as important as any motion of a grander part. We all have our jobs to do. We're all important for the smooth function of the Great Machine that is Divinity.
