“Honduran superhero origin story”- Comics Superhero style
Balk- to be unwilling or hesitant to accept an undertaking
Ex: When you’re on the subway holding onto the metal pole and your hand jams up into the belly fat of a Honduran fast food worker, do you move your hand or leave it?
Well, I chose to leave it, and the rest is history.
If you found yourself suddenly imbued with superpowers and contact dermatitis as a result of this fateful encounter, would you balk at your newfound sense of responsibility to protect the Central American community of the Five Burroughs? Or would you embrace this challenge. Would you heed the call of justice whenever a chop shop mechanic is refused a lung transplant because he has no insurance? Would you kick down the door to the operating room and burst in wearing a tight-fitting latex suit with external underwear and the words “Honduran Hercules” written across your chest? Would you use your powers to drop kick the surgeon in his esophagus and whisper the words, “Guillermo gets coverage or your wife loses the pregnancy” in his ear before you jump out the window and fly back to Flushing to atomic wedgie a pushy landlord who wants to evict the Rodriguez family? Well I’ll tell you what. I would.
