A superhero is a type of stock character, dedicated to protecting the public. Since the debut of the prototypical superhero Superman in 1938, stories of superheroes—ranging from brief episodic adventures to continuing years-long sagas—have dominated comic books and crossed over into other media. The word itself dates to at least 1916. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine. "SUPER HEROES" was registered as a trademark jointly by DC Comics and Marvel Characters, Inc. on August 25, 2009.
Characters do not require actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes; the term has also been applied to costumed crime fighters, characters without superpowers who perform the same functions as superheroes, such as Batman and Green Arrow. However, broad interpretations of the superhero archetype included masked vigilantes, such as the Spirit, who fought crime with their wits, fists and guns rather than superhuman powers, while concealing their identities with only a mask, hat and coat.
Captain America is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (cover-dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. As of 2007, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books had been sold in 75 countries. For nearly all of the character's publication history, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon.
An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers of World War II, Captain America was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953. Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series.
Little Heroes were a popular Australian rock band in the 1980s. They are best known for their hit single "One Perfect Day", which was released in 1982.
Little Heroes were formed from the remnants of The Secret Police. The Secret Police were a popular Melbourne rock band, comprising vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Roger Hart(aka Roger Wells), bassist Neil Walker [Died 1979 from Leukemia] was replaced by John Taylor, drummer Bruce Pumpa, guitarist Andrew Callender, and saxophonist Peter Linley. Secret Police did not issue any records, although posthumously the band contributed the tracks "Emotion" and "Everybody Looks Lonely at Night" to Missing Links' 1981 compilation album The Melbourne Club. In 1980 Hart, Taylor and Pumpa joined keyboardist David Crosbie to start a new band called The Little Heroes.
The new line-up competed in the Victorian State heat of the 1980 Battle of the Sounds, finishing a creditable second. The result was enough to advance The Little Heroes to the national final in Sydney, which they won, earning $5000. This resulted in the band recording and releasing their debut single "She Says"/"Coming Home" in November 1980. On the strength of this independent release they were signed to the Giant Records/CBS label to record their debut album.

Plot: Superheroes have a tough job. They work hard. The hours are long. The pay is terrible. No one tips a superhero. At this point in his life, our superhero is simply doing it because the pay from his merchandising and comic book sales pays the rent. After a long night of fighting crime, our exhausted superhero's day isn't looking too great. When all he wants is to finally eat his lunch (which was supposed to be dinner the night before), he's forced to stop a mugger instead. When he runs into the bushes to change into his superhero's outfit, a bad day spirals out of control as James, a precocious teen at the right place and right time, snaps revealing photos of our superhero's secret identity. Unable to simply steal the camera because of his moral code, he's forced to acquiesce to James' demands. At the end of the day, what started as a bad situation turns into a pretty super day for both of them. Mostly.

Hodgy Beats (Hodgy Beats)
[Verse 1:]
Niggas can't trace my [?] like I got my gloves on
The lovers hate on me and I feel there is no love gone
They starvin' and I'm eatin', watch me get my grub on
Stay strapped like a Trojan, bulletproof like a Kevlan
'Till this day, hustlers can't match my hustle
135 pounds, nothin' but muscle
I give hip-hop my all like DHS at the tussle
But I gotta stay humble till the fat lady sing
I'm ready to rumble, one-on-one in the ring
I'm gettin' everything I wish for, except for one thing
I can't have it all even if I got it all
Take a shot it's 50-50, like basketball
So when I hop into my whip and laugh it off
It's not because I'm upper-classin' at all
It's when the basket falls like a piñata
I'll be sittin' on my yacht, still sippin' coladas
[Hook:]
I'm the damage to the music like Joker to Gotham
Spider-man to Green Goblin
Where's Batman and Robin?
I'm the damage to the music like Joker to Gotham
Spider-man to Green Goblin
Where's Batman and Robin?
I could be ya super hero (hero.)
I could be ya super hero (hero.)
I could be ya super hero (hero.)
I could be ya-
[Verse 2:]
I don't waste all my energy
On the negative situations that aren't meant for me
There's an angel that angel that God as sent for me
And she belittles the emphasy between me and the enemy
Hodgy Beats is a winner (Look at him.)
Makin' mistakes and correctin' them
The morals of a sinner
I'm just gettin' to see the world before we all timber
A pro with my tools when I started a beginner
I'm cool like a climate, and when I climax
I need to be rushed to the ER, bring the sirens
Red, white, blue, even violet
No violence but I'm my own [?]
I was born to rhyme, I didn't try it
It was destined
When you close your eyes you feel the best winds
Money make the world go round, so the checks spin
I don't get close those whose necks bend
Backwards. Because those are actors, and you face
forward
The cash, you try to get it and dash off
[Hook]
Come with me
I want you to stay with me
[Verse 3:]
I go after the cabbage
Living the of a savage
They wanna live bad
I'm tryna live the baddest
Eating in the garden is yard, like a rabbit
They can't stay away, because it's become a habit
I have to live lavish, not sleeping in my jacket
Goals, I attack it like a computer hack it
But I'm future jacking
My word I don't ration
Money is a blessing
Music is a passion
Bass blasting in the car with two 12s
Making a mark in the industry not caring who sells
I wanna hold [?] like a few's
They need to listen to me like they do shells
I promote my life, not caring who tells
I'll explain on my feet, until my shoes swell
When the basket falls, like the piñata
I'll be on my yacht, still counting my dollas. (Holla.)
[Hook]
