Well I am traveling again. This time to Texas for a friends sons funeral. He was pretty sick from a bacterial infection, went into septic shock and finally died. He was a sweet kid. 11 Years old.
He came to visit with his dad last summer and put his underwear on outside of his sweatpants, grabbed a towel as a cape and decided he would be Captain Underwear for the visit. We convinced him that his superpowers were only needed at the house.
His dad became Captain Beer and me Captain Fireworks. Our powers were used in the best way we could. Dad took care of the beer and me small firecrackers, sparklers and other kid entertaining ground based things.
Until the asshole neighbor came over and threatened to call the cops, Captain Underwear came out and saved the day. Ordering asshole home, telling him to leave us superheroes alone. So heartless ass called the cops to our lair. We thought it funny he ran to the door and said he was Captain Underwear and we were "practicing our superpowers".
The deputy was in tears with laughter. And asked us not to practice our superpowers later than 8pm. In between laughs and tears. I am sure the story is in the annals of the Clear Creek Sheriff's Dept funny calls file.
Stephen you were a sweet and creative kid, we will miss you.

From what I hear about your neighbor, I've made up my mind that I can't stand the prick.
Not QUITE the same as your beautifully described story of Stephen, but it was the closest tribute I could find.
