Like Superman changing at lightning speed from reporter Clark Kent to his caped alter ego, Dane Nash is hurrying as fast as possible to get his American Super Heroes Museum, 20 W. Louisiana St., up and running.


Last fall, he announced his plan to open a museum; now the lease is signed.
He's aiming at a March opening.
Because the part of the building he's using never had electrical service or other utilities, "It falls under new construction, even though it's a turn-of-the-century building.
"We thought we were going to be able to just do city permits for the improvements and betterments, but the state came in and said no, they wanted to look at it again," says Nash.
Nash says that development gives him more time to finish other things.
A complete crew is waiting to jump in to finish the work. He is backed by an unnamed investor.
Unlike Metropolis, Ill., the official home of Superman, where Jim Hambrick's Super Museum celebrates the super- hero's life, Indianapolis has no connection to the character.
But Nash, retired from the property insurance business, is a Hoosier, and the Fishers man wanted to keep the collection here while offering the public a chance to see what he has spent his life acquiring and protecting.
