His room is filled with all types of superheroes, superheroes that he looks up to. They have always been a big part of his life, but especially now that he is battling such a tough battle.”Super Kaheem will make several stops throughout the city in his quest to save its citizens. At the Capitol, he will team up with Capitol Police and take on a mission in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) office.
