U.S. Navy sailor Edwin Gonzalez's friends called him Superman. He liked the idea so much he had a five-inch "S'' tattooed on his chest.
"It was because he was always getting in accidents and coming out fine," said Claudia Herrera, a former classmate of Gonzalez, of North Miami Beach.
"He was hit by cars twice and came out without a scratch," said Victor Medina, another friend.
On Friday, Gonzalez, 22, a newlywed, was killed when a roadside bomb exploded during combat operations in the Helmand Province, Afghanistan, the U.S. Department of Defense reported Sunday.
