I think its about time we all get serious about becoming superheroes. This will not be an easy task. We will all need to put forth time and effort. I believe that if we all follow this checklist we have a chance.

1) Pick a costume. A true eye catching costume will be your best bet. Something that no other superhero has and it definitely needs to be original. Are you going to wear a cape? That's a tough one. I've heard of superheroes before who get theirs caught in tight places. You need to imagine yourself preforming cool superhero tricks in this costume you've created. Will it work? Not sure I want shiny boots getting in the way when I'm doing rope climbs! 

2) Pick a power. If you're serious about becoming a superhero then you're definitely going to need a power. No one is going to believe you if you can't do anything cool. I want to be elasti girl. So since I took that power you all are going to have to come up with your own:) Brady is spiderman so sorry folks that one is already taken too. Some other examples are: be as strong as Rob Orlando, as quick as Chris Spealler or tough as Iceland Annie. Todays bad guys are bigger and badder than ever before so make sure you pick a good super power so we can handle everything.

3) Training. Committing yourself to some serious superhero training is what its all about. Are you willing to put in the time to really perfect your power? Not everyone who wants to be a superhero actually becomes one. Can you focus your time and energy to be better than you ever thought imaginable? 

4) Need secret headquarters. Where are you going to hide your costume and all your gadgets? You can't just wear this costume in front of your employers or you might blow your cover. 

5) Keeping a secret identity. I don't remember the last time I saw a superhero walking the streets in broad daylight. They only come out when they are really needed. Maybe you can pretend you're bad at something then when it shows up in the WOD you can let your superpower out? Hmmmm, I think this is how we might be able to win the games. 

6) Villans. This is the last of the list but definitely one of the most important. Who and what are we going after? They should be smart but we gotta be smarter than them. They need to be powerful but we gotta be more powerful! They will be quick but we will be quicker! 

See? It's that simple. Just follow the list and voila, you're a superhero. We need to remember what comes with having great powers also comes great responsibility. Good luck to all of my fellow superheroes in training.
