Its a bird… It’s a plane… It’s SUPERPOPE. Or, it was.
On Monday, street art depicting Pope Francis as "SuperPope" appeared on the streets of Rome blocks away from the Vatican.

The graffiti, by Italian street artist Mauro Pallotta ("Maupal") showed the pope flying through the air, carrying his black satchel and a scarf bearing the blue and red colors of his favorite Argentinian football team, San Lorenzo.

"Valores," the Spanish word for "values," was stamped on the bag (Pope Francis carries his own bag when he travels, which is a break from precedent).

Pallotta told NPR Wednesday that he depicted the pope as a superhero because "Pope Francis is the only world leader who stands on the side of the people."
