<\/a>Ultraman (pictured above) is Superman\u2019s evil alternate from Earth 3. He\u2019s the opposite of Superman. Where Superman is allergic to kryptonite, Ultraman likes to ride the green pony. Seriously, here\u2019s a line from his Fandom Wiki<\/a>:<\/p>\n
Ultraman possesses the standard powers of a Kryptonian, only he is empowered by green Kryptonite (being able to crush it into powder and even snort it like cocaine) and is weakened by yellow sunlight.<\/em><\/p>\n Right about now I wouldn\u2019t mind snorting some sunshine. It\u2019s been a tough year. COVID-19 waded in like Ultraman and upended everything.<\/p>\n But our yellow sun still rises everyday. The vaccines are on the way.<\/p>\n It occurred to me that we\u2019re Superman. We\u2019re what\u2019s going to stop COVID-19 because it\u2019s the exact opposite of everything we stand for.<\/p>\n It keeps us apart. It forces us into lonely isolation where our mental health issues turn into mental health crises. It changes who we are as a society.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why we have to be Superman. He always manages to beat all his evil doppelgangers because in the end, he\u2019s willing to sacrifice. Superman\u2019s humanity (despite the fact he\u2019s an alien) is his greatest strength.<\/p>\n We have to be willing to sacrifice. The pandemic\u2019s getting worse. Cases are going up. Deaths are going up. It\u2019s time for the third act, the part of the movie where the heroes dust themselves off and dive back into the fight.<\/p>\n I know you\u2019re tired.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s time to win.<\/p>\n
