Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })How to Be a Superhero is a book by Mark Leigh and Mike Lepine, illustrated by Steve Dillon, and published in 1992 by NBM.As the title indicates, this is a parody of various "how-to" books, guiding the reader through the steps and considerations needed to be a Comic Book Super Hero. Topics include how to acquire superpowers, do-it-yourself cyborging, choosing a proper Secret Identity, licensing and financial support, and the problems with kid sidekicks. The writing style is breezy and conversational, with a lot of Lampshade Hanging of Super Hero Tropes peppered with a good dose of Toilet Humor. | |

Bat Signal: There's a section on this, including a joke about making sure you have a symbol suited to this, and commenting on how the Women's League for Decency got the Purple Helmet's signal banned (although he still sometimes mistakenly answers summons for Doc Hemisphere). | |

| How to Be a Superhero / int_9a91603e | comment |
Atrocious Alias: A section is devoted to avoiding choices like this, such as "Mr. AC/DC" might not be a good choice if you have electrical powers, or the poor guy who got his powers from and named himself "Purple Helmet". | |

All Gays are Promiscuous: A recurring gag in the book, such as when a dialog on superhero motivations gets derailed by two male readers arranging a date. | |
