"We keep Tom around for his sense of humor, and for his occasional superhero appearances as Adult Man." Overall, it takes about fifteen years from this point to the stage where he will be the superhero Adult Man all the time.
People who see it at that time will be hard pressed to say precisely when such an awesome change came about, or where in God's Kingdom it came from.

But of course, we will know.
Some years ago, a couple of college guys got sick of all the "Save the . . ." idiots and came up with their own campaign to ridicule these brainless people. They blew up photos of a gecko (think Geico ads) and made placards out of them, with the motto "Save the Naugas!", along with horrific messages about them being slaughtered by the thousands to make Naugahyde covered sofas, etc.
They joined a "Save the whales" demonstration and soon had a group following them chanting "Save the Naugas!".
The idea caught on...
Unfortunately the campaign was unsuccessful. Naugas were hunted almost to extinction and now the only known herd of Naugas is located on a remote farm near Naugatuck Connecticut along the banks of the Naugatuck River..
