A story about Vincent as an unconventional superhero


For unconventional as for conventional superheroes, the outfit is very important. As capes in all colors are already in use by conventional heroes, I would like to dress up as a carrot to be heroic and name myself Super Carrot. To imagine it myself, I rented a carrot outfit yesterday and went working like that, as you can see on this picture. People didn't recognize me (a good disguise is very important for a super hero!), but were for sure more enthousiastic than on regular days when I enter.
I can imagine kids will dress up like Super Carrot and groceries will hang up pictures of Super Carrot to promote vegetables. As a result, Super Carrot would boost health even without undertaking action himself. 
As unconventional superheroe, I would like to keep some features of my conventional colleagues, like flying. Is it a plane, is it a bird? No it's Mega Carrot ! A soundtrack should accompany Super Carrot on his adventures. Some 64-bit arcade games music would be quite ok.
Next to a costume, superheroes also need an enemy to fight. I would go for ugliness as an enemy. In my opinion, a world with less ugliness and more beauty would make everybody happier. It's time to stop nagging about what's ugly and undertake action for (euhm real) beauty. It's time for Super Carrot! As Super Carrot, I would turn pc's into macs and mc donald's into trattorias. I would destroy all bad advertising as well. Below, you can see a colleague of mine, who tries Super Carrot's unconventional superpowers to turn ugly into beauty. People were astonished by the results! 


I have one fellow unconventional superhero, I would like to bring tribute in this place. It's Super Grover and he does an amazing job. Keep going Super Grover ! Your biggest fan, Super Carrot.
