Among men of ordinary stature, he would be the equivalent of a "superpower"
He could abuse that power but he chose not to do so.
He hated to see anyone in pain so he wasn't the least bit cruel.
He had an abiding sense of justice so he would readily intervene if he saw someone being mistreated.
He was described as "slow to anger" and "quick to forgive"
Even children instinctively love a gentle giant once they are assured of his gentleness. They are soon all over him like they would be on an amusement ride.
Might and fairness make a safe and welcome combination.
The success of the television series BONANZA was largely due to the powerful yet warmly sensitive and humane character of Hoss Cartwright.
Wouldn't our success as a "superpower" be assured if we choose to emulate the same basic attributes inherent in the character of Eric "Hoss" Cartwright?

Great idea! I thought that's what we were, but clearly not now, under the Shrub "administration."
He's a turkey, and he's made us look like jerks, wasting American lives, destroying at least one country (Iraq), destroying the U.S. economy, breaking the U.S. Department of DEFENSE (NOT OFFENSE ==>> DEFENSE!!!), and making us millions of enemies.
He's made me very skeptical of the motives of all Christians, and I am one! Eh?
Bush - obviously a master at making a bad situation worse.
ESD, as we used to say in the Navy...

Yes I would have to agree. Although I loved Little Joe Hoss was a real sweetheart. Pa wasn't so bad either.

Hoss had an older and younger brother beside him.
We stand virtually alone. Being compassionate against terrorist bombers is an ineffective deterrent.

I don't know. But this I know, Bush is the perfect example of how NOT to behave as a superpower.
