Portico Reeves, whose superhero name is Stuntboy, introduces himself with fanfare, urging the audience to clap and stomp their feet. Stuntboy wears a cape and a superhero outfit. His black cat helps by turning on the theme music. Stuntboy considers everyone in his life to be a hero, and his job as a superhero is to make sure that the other heroes in his life stay heroic. He keeps his superhero life a secret but is willing to share his story with the audience. Stuntboy lives in an apartment tower that he considers a castle and loves being around so many people. He lives with his parents and Gran Gran, and he explains that he has “a terrible case of the frets” caused by anxiety (9). Stuntboy relies on his best friend, Zola Brawner, who has glasses and star barrettes in her hair. Stuntboy met Zola on the first day of school when she jumped off the school bus and was confronted by a local bully named Herbert Singletary the Worst. Stuntboy stepped in just as Herbert was about to insult Zola’s glasses, but Herbert followed Zola and Portico home, insulting them all the way.
