Serena dubs herself a super hero after stopping cellphone thief

WASHINGTON — Tennis star Serena Williams posted an image of herself as a super hero on Twitter after she chased down a man who had taken her cellphone from a Chinese restaurant, the New York Daily News reported. In a post on her Facebook page, Williams notes that all those sprinting exercises came in handy as she leapt over chairs and dashed after the man. She asked him if he had “accidentally” taken the wrong phone. He agreed that he had taken the wrong phone and gave it back to her. “Superhero? Maybe? Or HELL YEA(sic)!! I’ve got the speed, the jumps, the power, the body, the seduction, the sex appeal, the strength, the leadership and yet the calm to weather the storm,” she writes. Williams also urged women not to fear challenges and “not be a victim but a hero.”
