St. Cloud's Superman

May 7, 2002: St. Cloud's “Superman”

St. Cloud, Minnesota appears to have its very own Superman. The story is best described by an article published by Minnesota Public Radio titled "A super hero, St. Cloud-style" written by Jeff Horwich. Here's how the article begins...

Truth, justice and the American way have taken up residence outside the St. Cloud Dairy Queen. A brawny guy in a flowing cape is popping up intermittently at busy places in town. He's St. Cloud's self-appointed super hero. His mission: To inspire and reassure.

St. Cloud residents have gained a guardian. He's a mild-mannered construction worker on most days. Today he's standing at a crowded intersection with his hands on his hips, smiling out at traffic. He's wearing blue tights and a red cape. For the moment, this makes him Superman.

"The superman of the new millennium," he says.

What is his mission, here at the corner of Division Street and 25th Avenue?

"I'd say my first purpose is to represent truth, justice, and the American way, which is what Superman basically stands for," he says. "And because of the terrorist attack and because of all the corruption in our society and so forth, I think that it's very important that we revitalize that image, and I think it's very important that we all unite, all Americans who love justice and truth."
