Pompous Boy? —I’ve heard of him, but I didn’t want to believe.Harsh measures may be necessary….Bring me the inflated head of Pompous Boy! (Before anyone gets hysterical, that’s a movie reference, folks.)

All good super-heroes need a good super-villain. May I suggest that Pompous Boy’s villain should be Jef the Cyclist! That would be a battle royal of epic proportions!

Pompousman! The lone survivor of the planet Ego. His powers can’t harm me. I just say the magic words, “Hmmm. You may be right.” and move on with my life.

Rat as Dizzy Gillespie (not that Dizzy Gillespie is egotistical, but because he can physically make his head look larger).

I didn’t know Rat could do that….. I like the use of the figure of speech having a big head

As an infant, I must have been a superhero. I am told my Dad called me “that big headed b———d”. I wonder what else he could have meant.

inflating your head so that anyone with a pin can come along and pop it like a balloon is not a superpower. it is the opposite of a superpower
