Not a hero
Not Superman to have to go
Take off my clothes so I can show
Not Ironman to have to put
A fully armoured shiny suit
Not even Batman or the Ant
Not angry like the mighty Hulk
Not fast enough to equal Flash
Not just enough like mighty Cap
Not hot like Torch or sleek like Silver
A hint of Thor in me might linger
I do shoot strait but not like Hawkeye
I wish all these would be a lie
For sure no mouthpiece like that guy
Deadpool I think, he's pretty fly
Not throwing webs like Spider-man...
I'm just your daddy...
It's who I am.
