Here's a guy who has discovered his superhero within and is truly living the me, we, world of leadership.  And while we typically need to shed some layers to get to our core, this guy put a layer on-- in the form of a  $5000 Batman costume.  Admittedly, he has not always exhibited superhero behavior and somehow, being in this suit, allows him to truly be who he is.
