    Nick, a white fat bald man, was sitting on his worn-out couch, engrossed in watching Batman movies on his old television.

    He admired the caped crusader, often finding himself daydreaming of fighting crime and saving the day. Inspired, Nick decided to become a superhero.

    He proudly donned his costume, a white suit with a big 'F' on the chest. He stood in front of the mirror and declared, 'I am FatMan!'

    Now dressed as FatMan, Nick ventured out onto the city streets. His costume attracted a few giggles, but he didn’t mind; he was on a mission.

    His first act of heroism was helping an elderly woman cross the busy street. He felt a sense of accomplishment, a taste of being a real superhero.

    Suddenly, FatMan noticed a group of thugs harassing a couple in a dark alley. He knew it was time to intervene.

    FatMan charged towards the thugs, tripping over a trash can in the process. The fall sent the thugs into a fit of laughter, giving the couple time to escape.

    FatMan became a regular sight in the city. He helped find lost pets, played with children in the park, and even joined the occasional jogger.

    Despite his comical approach, people started to appreciate FatMan. He brought joy and helped in his own unique way, becoming a superhero in their eyes.

    At the end of the day, Nick would return home, still in his FatMan costume, and watch more Batman movies, feeling content and fulfilled.
