Was he a superman?
Yes
Mike possessed no of the superhuman physical attributes of superman, but a superman he was.
While he was not a man of steel, his greatness eclipsed anyone from Krypton.
Mike's superness came from God, and the gifts he endowed his son with.
The kingdom of heaven was/is his, for he was poor in spirit.
He knew right from wrong, understood like a child who God was and what it meant to be a child of God.
He possessed the land, for he was meek. He would return anger with kindness, insult with favor. While on earth, his needs were always meet, he was like the birds of the air, he did not toil but God saw to it that he had what he needed.
He was filled, for he hungered for justice. His hunger was for true justice, as God would have it. He wanted each to have according to his due (as long as he had something special to drink)
He obtained mercy, for he was merciful. He would always forgive (but did not seem to forget)
He saw God, for he was pure of heart. A more clean heart would be hard to find, as his heart contained non of the anxiousness of others, (just make sure he has the remote)
Mike was born and remained a child of God, for no one made peace more than him. In any argument, he would cry out for peace.
He could call the kingdom of heaven his home, for he suffered persecution on account of God. He existence was contrary to the world, and for this he and his family suffered the slings and arrows of others, for his existence.
Mike may not have been a great man by the worlds view, no superman, but he was a giant when it came to what mattered.
