Excellent dialogue, and I love the opening line. The names you’ve chosen are clever too. A good read! Thanks – Yoda

this reminds me of edna from he incredibles. i like it though, it’s terribly amusing.

Wonderful answer to the challenge. I like the whole choosing a superhero name idea, because, well, I love superheroes! But the name ‘Don Rialdo Ripaldando’ alone makes this one a winner in my book.

Oh my gosh, I’m going to use three letters I’ve never before used in a comment, deeming no story fit for it yet.
L. O. L. I can just imagine the guy’s voice!

Oh yeah and the NASCAR thing makes me crack up every time I see it!

Don Rialdo Ripaldando made me lol. Same with Lightning McCool, it reminded me of that Pixar movie with the cars. :P Very good!

Like everyone else, I appreciated all the movie references. Another gem.

Flattery will get you EVERYWHERE !

That was FUNNY .

awww!
it was adorable!
i imagined a taller edna for the superhero consultant and although i didnt really get the movie references i chuckled to myself…
…something i rarely do

is a sequel too much to ask?

I wrote this as a stand alone piece, but anybody who feels inspired is welcome to it!

Loved it. Had to write a sequel but don’t think I fully captured Don Rialdo’s personality.

Very funny, both as an original piece and as an answer to the challenge. ‘Tis a pity he didn’t stick with Herbert though; I could use the services of The Ethernet Avenger.
