While all our contributors are terrific and very much appreciated, there are a few who go above and beyond.

They post content faster than a speeding bullet. Their work is more powerful than a locomotive. They are able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Well, maybe not. But these folks really are my heroes. In fact, I bet they’d make great comic book characters —the Lewisville/Flower Mound neighborsgo Avengers.

For instance, columnist Kevin John Phillips could be The Sagacious Shadow. In the comics, he would have a big brain, a sign of his wisdom, and his disguise could be Groucho Marx glasses, symbolizing his humor. He’d also be the one who would dish up super meals for the Avengers when they met at their secret hideout.

Holly Homer, one of BurbMom.net’s founders, could be Whimsical Woman. She’d be super fast, so she could keep an eye on all three of her boys at once, and she could tell jokes to distract villains from evil deeds. She would always beat the other Avengers at poker.

Photographer Andie Smith would be the Masked Flash. She would blind villains with the light from her giant camera and she’d capture their, er, capture, on film to give to the newspapers. And she would take the picture for the Avengers’ Christmas card.

There would also be Carmen Koger, a.k.a. Cosmic Comic, who’d be accompanied by her sidekick, Mr. Wiggles. Patrick Iversen could be the Radical Reviewer, and Jeff White would be the Silver Sergeant.

And who am I? The damsel in distress, of course!

These heroes come to my rescue every week with super stories and photos for this paper. You can join the team by posting your news, photos, opinions and more on neighborsgo.com.

Happy heroics and happy reading!
