Super strength, super speed, the ability to see through women’s clothing…they’re all so common! So obvious! But what if your power is more obscure? For instance…
SCENE, Panel 1: A man and a woman are in their bathing suits next to a swimming pool. The man grasps the woman’s shoulder.

SCENE, Panel 2: Woman pushes man into the swimming pool.
WOMAN: Shove off, sailor!
MAN (thinking): <Groan!> Whatever my secret power is…it’s not super popularity! Why can’t I ever get

CAPTION: So goes the latest heartbreaking saga of Major Halitosis…the hero without a clue!
Stay tuned for the next exciting adventure…“If This Breath Mint Be Mine!”
