Tights are crucial for superhero powers. Let me tell you why.

Call me Ishmael. (Bad AP Literature reference, I know, but I wouldn't doubt my incredible powers)

I have the strength of ten wild oxen, can destroy buildings and people with my lightning vision, and can summon the wrath of the sea with a wave of my hand. Every once in a while, I make it rain whales. You heard me! Giant whales plummeting from the sky.

I'm more of an evil villain than anything else, because villains have more fun than superheroes. But, just so you know, the unharnessed power comes from my neon pink tights. I found them at the bottom of the ocean one day in Davy Jones' locker--never underestimate the power of the tights!
