I'm not a huge fan of superhero stories in general, and I was sort of holding off starting to listen to the superhero month stories, but I found that I liked this one a lot. Mostly because, at the end of it all, it wasn't about superheroics, its about how non-superheroes live in a superheroic world. Quite a few people in this thread commented on how they were glad the narrator decided not to become a supervillian, but I was also quite glad he decided not to become a sidekick. I feel like his main epiphany at the end was not that he could get the girl by being himself - though that was part of it - but rather that he can be the hero's friend without making his whole life be about the hero, either as support or as enemy. He has his own life to live, and he can be there for his friend without letting that dominate him.
