Here's a stumper for ya. Back in my early high school days, long long ago (1985ish) I read a book about a retired superhero. He had blue hair. He had hung up his cape and retired but something (an old arch-enemy maybe? I can't really remember) caused him to pull the old superhero costume off the shelf and come out of retirement. The book was definitely rated R. At one point, hes flexing his powers, flying over his city/town for the first time and he starts looking thru peoples roofs to test out his x-ray vision. He sees a neighbor's babysitter and her boyfriend having sex and flys into a pole or something. Being that I was quite the adolescent at the time, that is one of the only scenes in the book I recall in any detail.
So, does anyone have any clue what this book is or who it was buy? I'd love to get a copy and read it again to see if it is really as good as I remember, but no one so far has been able to tell me what this book is. Any ideas?
