Lois Lane screems as she hangs by one hand from the runner of a news helicopter teetering atop the Daily Planet building. Alas! She can hold on no longer and plunges downward toward the busy Metropolis street below.
Not to worry! Clark Kent rips open his buttoned-down shirt. Then Superman suddently swoops up from below and holds her safe in his arms. "I've got you," he reassures her.
Her puzzled response: "You've got me? Who's got you?"
That's a great question, and not just for Lois. Our culture's expectations for men are incredibly high. Men are expected to be able to solve just about any problem the world (or women) encounter. He is, indeed, a wonderful creation; but he's not God.
