A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    It’s an interesting look; I like the way you can track the movement of the skin as he twists his arms.

    I don’t suppose that he’ll actually be able to heal them all though, which is a pity.

    If he could heal them that would be amazing.

    In the world of actual reality, I’m sure the scars they’ll leave will look pretty awesome too.

    I’d really love to see how many of them actually last.
    Not exactly practical, but they do look good.
