For Kids: Find Your Inner (and Outer) Superhero with 'Super You'

Look, up at the top of the sofa!

Here is one of those things you find in your travels around the InterTubes that's just too cute/funny to keep to yourself.

Super You, in addition to having a theme song of the same class as "It's a Small World" when it comes to getting stuck in your head (WARNING: Music plays automatically when you visit the site), offers custom-made superhero outfits for kids. You simply choose a size and color for each part of the outfit (unitard, cape, belt, etc.), wait for the costume to arrive, and next thing you know, your favorite little crimefighter has a new costume.

What could be better for a child’s self-confidence and creativity than to be able to create their own superhero costume? By creating Super You, I hope to teach children that being Super is whatever they want it to be—and that being Super comes from within.

My favorite part about the whole arrangement? The costume arrives in a black "Super Briefcase" for kids to open -- preferably away from the prying eyes of supervillains and those they're sworn to protect.
