But hey, time and time again, he's proven that he deserves the name. Mostly by wearing red underwear over blue tights. I mean, you're probably pretty strong if you're going to just show up in public in that outfit. And just in case anyone might forget who you are, you put a big ol' S right on your shirt as a reminder.
