5. "Stars in Their Eyes"- Just Jack. "They'll just put you in the spotlight and hope that you'll do alright… or maybe not."
Captain Hammer was a celebrity, a God amongst men.
You know he never started doing this hero stuff for the fame. Sure, when he was young Hammer dreamt of being a movie star, or an astronaut, or an athlete or in a rock band like every other kid. Though in all likely hood he'd just end up running his father's hardware store someday. He hadn't even thought about heroism—he was never in to comic books or anything.
Then in Junior High he rescued Jenny McHenry from being hit by that out of control school bus—by taking the blow instead. He didn't even know he could do that until it happened. Similar things happened after that incident, but young Hammer had hoped nobody would ever notice this weird quirk of his. Having superpowers made you a freak didn't it?
But somebody had noticed. Somebody called the press, the television stations, the radio, everyone. Everybody just had to see this super kid running—maybe even flying—about town.
When the first reporter asked what his 'name' was he replied "Captain Hammer" because, you know, it sounded cool at the time.
