This was inspired by an old episode of Friends where Chandler and Phoebe debate superheroes and Chandler says something along the lines of

"He's a Spider-Man! Spiderman's not his name, like, there's no...Phil Spiderman!", pronouncing it like you would Kaufman or Lieberman. They then talk about Goldman (the surname) pronouncing it like "Gold Man"
Etcetera.

It was also inspired by a boring day in the office, Marvel comics, and by the number 50.5% abv.

I've got an ending planned, but there's something about not being in work that leaches out the creativity. I may have to let this one stew for a few days, but I fully intend to finish the series. Meanwhile, here's some filler:

Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.
