COSTUMED CRIMEFIGHTERS ACADEMY – Online (for the duration of the emergency)Review Lesson #28: Textbooks. A quick poll of our faculty reveals that none of us have ever heard of Justice Agent, Captain Truth or Vigilante Vic. A follow-up check of our records also indicates no such people ever applying to the academy; some of our applicants end up changing their professional names after time spent here. ( Little-known fact: C. Kent, Class of ‘38, Dean Emeritus, never cared much for his professional name, bestowed upon him by a reporter for the newspaper he worked at. It reminded him too much of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s Ubermensche, whose influence he would fight very hard against during World War II.)As a result, these titles are not officially-sanctioned textbooks and, thus, not recommended for training. Our textbook committee reviews dozens of titles from new publishers each year, publishers that disappear almost as quickly as they emerge. (You’d be surprised how many people fancy themselves superhero trainers.) We prefer to stay with the major publishers, who are excellent at chronicling the exploits of our graduates. The trio our applicant seems to be devoting his studies to are likely responsible for some of his eccentricities.

The “Let’s say I’m a…” trick works every time on cop shows like “Blue Bloods”. Why shouldn’t it work here?
