Ez a kis mese valahol mélyen arról szól, hogy mennyire nehéz megbirkózni azzal, amikor a szülők folyton dicsérnek, aztán kikerülsz a nagyvilágba, és kiderül, hogy vannak nálad jobbak. Az első ilyen mérföldkő természetesen az iskola, ahol már ténylegesen számít a teljesítmény, szemben az óvodával.
Viszont a köntös aranyos ezzel a szupergonosz léttel. A szupergonosz gyerek is csak egy gyerek, aki ki akar teljesedni, miközben a teste biológiai határokat szab neki.
Az illusztrációk pedig nagyon sok klasszikus főgonoszra utalnak, szerintem a felét nem is ismerem...^^”

This book is a great read-alike for Mustache Baby, which I was also not too fond of. Why are children being praised for behaving so badly simply because they were born with something completely unrealistic like a supervillian mask?
The one part of the story that's completely true is that just like Dylan, everyone's parents tell them that they're the best, most amazing, and spectacular at everyone. Then when the kid gets to school, he finds out the truth...

By far the best super villain picture book I've run across -- which, to be honest, is not an area with a lot of stiff competition. However, this one is pretty dang hilarious, full of double-crossings, and entertaining in plot.

Quirky humor which might be lost on a lot of kids. Not sure about the ending.

This story beginning with the fact that Dylan's father hid his family's well-documented history of villainy from his wife, and that because he withheld that information, this poor woman marries and produces evil offspring with him is hilarious. I loved this book.
