Hee.  I like that final bit, Sartoris. :)

Kemper, I'd point to what Carol wrote --

-- and as if you could say more about the superpowers you see within Harry that would qualify him as Superman.  I mean, I get why, for you, you come down as neither Jesus nor Everyman, but I want to know how you see Superman in him instead.  Is it mostly that Something About Harry capacity?  (And if so, how would that be described, exactly?)  Is it his willingness to take the risky, dangerous move when others would run or hide?  Are you thinking some actual superpowers?  

Siriusly Snapey Susan, who has always believed there was Something About Harry, even when others rolled their eyes at that, but who isn't so sure she'd ever argue Superman
