I was reading my monthly issue of Cosmopolitan, March 2011 to be more specific, when I came across the “Superheroes We Wish Existed” article. Usher stared as CAPTAIN COSMO; more interestingly, the man who blends into your bedroom and whispers sex advice into your man’s ears! What can beat that?

Maybe AB-MAN can! He is the “flab-fighting avenger” who uses his laser vision to give those not so sexy men something for you to gawk over. Likewise, I may be a fan of Twilight and Gossip Girl to some extent, but I don’t admire their superheroes: WOLFPIRE and GOSSIP GUY.

But I was excited to hear about SUPERGRAN last week Thursday.

Who is she, you may wonder? She’s the new face of strength and protection in Northampton, England. Four men tried to rob a jewelery store with sledgehammers, and as the staff grew worried, the men grew unsuccessful. Their efforts became weak when grandma, Ann Timson, showed up. She used her handbag to fend off the criminals and it worked! As the men tried to escape, she beat them over the head with her bag and knocked one off the moped. Before he could escape, the crowd watching surrounded him until the police entered the scene.

No one was very interested in the actual outcome for the store, because everyone wants to hear about Ann Timson. This woman in her seventies exhibited no fear as she protected this store. She claims to be nothing more than a good samaritan; but, either way she is better known to the world as the superhero of 2011, SUPERGRAN!
