Yes, it's one of my favorites, although it drags in some places. Mystery Men is an excellent satire on superheros.

I loved Mystery Men, the superhero wannabees like The Waffler and Ballerina Man were hilarious.

Great movie.
LOL

actually it's:

"Your fear will become your master? That was what you were going to say, isn't it."

"Not necessarily."
