Description:

A Science Fiction Short Story

A man wakes up in a dumpster. He can't remember his name or how he got there, but he discovers incredible things about himself: he can stop bullets with his chest, he can bend metal with his hands, and he can fly.

He has superpowers . . . but is he a superhero?

Praise for "The Man Who Mistook Himself for a Superhero":

"After some very funny, sometimes poignant encounters . . . we discover why [the protagonist] is able to do what he does. And what happens to guys who think they are superheroes—but aren't. A very appealing story." (Tangent Online)

Originally published in Challenging Destiny, "The Man Who Mistook Himself for a Superhero" is also available in the author's collection Ooter's Place and Other Stories of Fear, Faith, and Love.
