Droolicious

I grew up reading Marvel comics throughout 70's (including buying back issues as a young collector).  Every month I saved up my money from doing odd jobs, washing boats and cars, and so I always had some change to buy my favorites at the local comic shop.  X-men, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Avengers and Spidey, along with a few others.

From those comics, I developed an enormous vocabulary.  I knew how to spell "annihilate" and what it meant by age 7.  Almost all of the superheroes were also scientists, or engineers, or just super smart do-gooding lawyers (aka Daredevil).  

So, I had a great respect for science and education because just super powers alone would not be enough to stop the bad guys.  Because they too were geniuses, but they failed to adopt the penultimate characteristic of a great super hero character, as Peter Parker said so eloquently, "With great power comes great responsibility".

My kid will totally get one of these shirts (and the various "40 years of Marvel Comics" collections out now on DVD's, which would be a great item for you guys to post!  Great thing about those is that he won't shred up my collection but can still read all the stories and see the art!)  :)
