Here's the Superhero Devo:

On a rural farm in Smallville, Kansas, young Clark Kent discovered a glowing green crystal that explained why he was blessed with extraordinary powers like flight, speed, strength, really-hot-vision, and see-thru-vision. This glowing chunk of rock told him that he was destined to be the biggest dork to ever put on tights and a cape and become the Last Son of Krypton… Superman, the Man of Tomorrow!
On the tough streets of New York, a young boy named Matt Murdock was involved in a horrible accident that resulted in a radioactive waste material being spilled on his face and eyes, causing him to become completely blind. But now, Matt was blessed with heightened senses of smell, hearing, touch, and a sort of radar that lets him sense everything around him as he fights crime in downtown New York City, known only to the villains he pursues, and to the citizens he protects, as… Daredevil, the Man Without Fear!
In 1941, a young, scrawny, and physically weak patriot named Steve Rogers volunteered for the United States’ Super Soldier program. Too weak to be a soldier on his own, Steve was given an experimental formula that maximized his physical strength, endurance, and abilities. Steve then decided to use his new gifts to fight alongside American troops against the Germans in WWII until a freak accident froze him in a block of ice, only to be thawed out 50 years later. Now, Steve Rogers, armed only with his indestructible shield and fierce loyalty to his country, continues to fight the good fight as… Captain America, the Star Spangled Soldier!
On a field trip to a local genetics research facility, high school student Peter Parker was bitten by a genetically altered super-spider. When the spider bit Peter, the spider’s venom somehow changed Peter’s body’s molecular structure, giving him the comparative strength and agility of a spider, the ability to cling to surfaces and climb walls, as well as a “spider-sense” warning him of any danger before it hits. With these new-found powers, Peter did what any red-blooded American boy would do in the same situation. He tried to make money. Peter became a professional wrestler. One night, Peter had the chance to stop a burglar. Angry and bitter over an incident at the wrestling arena, Peter let the burglar go. He came home to find his Uncle Ben dead. Uncle Ben had been killed by the same burglar. Peter now truly took to heart Uncle Ben’s words: “With great power comes great responsibility”. Peter took it upon himself to don his outfit and patrol the streets and skyline of New York City as… the Wall-Crawling, Web-Slinging, Amazing Spider-Man!
With great power comes great responsibility. Listen to Acts 1:8: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God that lives within each one of us, as Christians, has given all of us powers and gifts beyond those of mortal men. We’ve all heard the parable of the talents. We all know that the “talent” in that context is really a sum of money, but follow me on this. Don’t you think that Jesus could also be talking about our actual talents and abilities, in a metaphorical sense? As Christians, we have been given some of the most awesome gifts in the world! I know for a fact that there are people sitting here right now who have the God-given talent of being able to sing like angels. I can’t do that. I know for a fact that there are people here who always know exactly what to say, and even if they don’t know what to say, they manage to pull off a very convincing imitation of the exact right thing. There are people sitting here that can turn your worst day ever into the brightest ray of sunshine you’ve had in a long time. It’s happened to me! There are people here who can simply look you in the eyes, smile, and make your day that much better. There are people here who can spend just five minutes with you and make you laugh until your sides hurt. There are people here who can do ALL KINDS of REALLY COOL STUFF because God gave them that gift.
OK, so we’ve got the idea that “God gives everybody gifts” down. That’s not what I’m here to tell you, you already know that. What I’m here to do is to encourage you to use your gifts, your talents, to the best of your ability and to the best of God’s use.

1 Corinthians 12:4-7 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

There you go, Paul agrees with me. Whatever it is you can do, do it big. Do it well. Do it with every ounce of strength that you have. Do it to please God. Offering your body as a living sacrifice doesn’t mean you poke a knife in your back and set yourself on fire, it means you take what you’ve got and COMPLETELY devote it to God.
Above all the newspaper stories, above all the deadlines, above all of the problems of Metropolis, Clark Kent is always Superman. Above all the missed photo opportunities, above all the science problems, above all the marriage difficulties, Peter Parker is always Spider-Man. Above all the law cases, above all the handicaps, above all the politics, above all the pain, Matt Murdock is always Daredevil. Above all the criticism, above all the loss, above all the hatred, above all the reproach, Steve Rogers is always Captain America. And you know what? Above everything, above humanity, above weak flesh, above mortal bodies, above rank, status, or popularity, above EVERYTHING that might POSSIBLY stand in our way, we are God’s people.
We have been called to make God the single most important aspect of our lives. Nothing else matters. God is IT. If you put all your life’s energy into serving your girlfriend or boyfriend, he or she is still going to die. You are still going to die, and your whole life will have been absolutely insignificant. If you put all your life’s energy into your car, your computer, or your cash, your friends, your family, or your physique, your looks, your love, or your legacy, it won’t matter, and when your span on this earth is only marked by a 3 foot slab of granite, it’s OVER for you. But if you overclock yourself for God, if you push yourself beyond conventional limits in your service for God, if you run the race like you’re in it to win it, if you will let your entire existence become a burning pillar of light pointing unmistakably towards God, then our Almighty Creator and Lord will fill you with so much POWER you won’t know what to do with it. And I’m not talking about “I command the demons that have caused this boy’s acne to come OUT!” kind of power; I’m talking power you can use in your day-by-day life to reach people. I’m talking about REAL POWER FROM GOD that will be an absolutely unmistakable sign that the King of the Universe has got a special interest in your life.
The last thing I want to talk to you about is a secret identity crisis. For some reason, Superman doesn’t think it’s good enough for him to just always run around as Superman, so he sticks with Clark Kent, possibly the lamest secret identity ever. Honestly, if I took off my glasses and came back in a flashy costume with a cape, you’d all know it was me. It’s not that hard to figure out. But, that’s not the point. Superman has a secret identity: Clark Kent. Spider-Man has Peter Parker. Daredevil has Matt Murdock. Captain America has Steve Rogers. Do you have a secret identity?
In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus gives us the famous “light of the world” nugget. We are to be like a light on top of a hill, which can be seen for MILES in every direction. Same thing applies to being superheroes for God.
Every year for Halloween, thousands of little boys across the country dress up as… Clark Kent! Woo-hoo! Nerdy guy that works for a newspaper, shoot yeah! No, that’s stupid. They dress up as Superman, because he’s the hero. Don’t be Clark Kent, don’t be Peter Parker, don’t be Aaron Rushton, don’t be your club brother or sister, don’t be yourself. Be Superman! Be Spider-Man! Be the superhero! Be Christ!

Philippians 1:21 – For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

When Paul died, he gained. There was no more pain. There was no more sorrow. There was no more trouble. There was no more sadness. Everything is eternally cool for him, because he’s with God. That is a HUGE GAIN. But the only reason he gained anything is because he lived his life as a bright and shining beacon for God. His Christianity was not kept hidden. Paul didn’t have a secret identity, and neither should we.
Make it your goal to live such a life that when people see you, they see a superhero. Make it your goal to live such a life that when people see you, they see the ultimate superhero of all time: Jesus, the Christ, Son of the God of Heaven and of Earth. Live your life as a superhero.
