The words that Uncle Ben said to Peter, then became the motto that a Superhero lived by. “With great power, there must also come great responsibility.”

To Uncle Ben, who we know is still with us somewhere in this multiverse, this is dedicated to you.

Before we begin, make sure you have these ingredients ready.

  • An expensive Campaign. Use a SuperPac brand if you can afford it. Keep a few backups in case one falters.

  • A truckload of Promises. You need to create a concoction of Promises with a mix of seasoned and fresh ones. This will add variety to your Power dish.

  • A carefully crafted (preferably organic) mix of Leadership spices. This adds all the flavor that makes your Power dish tasty. Avoid extremely bland or extra spicy flavor profiles.

Now that you are all set, it’s time to make this time-tested recipe.

Add the concoction of Promises to your Campaign.
Now, cook at high flame…
