MTV: Being in league with a superhero, though, usually leads to a whole lot of dude-or-damsal in distress situations. Is it the same with Jimmy and Kara, and if so, what’s it like having tiny Melissa carry you around to save the day?  

Mehcad Brooks: There’s been a couple times where I’ve been the dude in distress, so I’m all good with that. Women have been quote-unquote superheroes in our society for years - my mother is a superhero to me, my grandmother as well, and I think that we’re just getting to a place in our society where we’re actually recognizing their contribution in the way that it should be.So I’m happy to be a part of that, I’m happy to be the dude in distress.

My mom saved my ass more times than I can count; my grandma saved my ass more times than I can count. If it wasn’t for the powerful women in my life, I would not be where I’m at. All men have been that dude in distress, and we’re just too prideful to admit it. But women have come to our aid, whether it’s a girlfriend, a wife, a mother, a sister, a best friend. I don’t know a man who could say he’s at where he’s at without a woman. So I’m okay with that. Go ahead and carry me through the fire Melissa, go ahead girl!

Don’t you have a city to protect?
