- `__init__` is a function that gets called when a new object is created. Make sure you use two underscores on either side of the `init` or it will break!

- Here, SuperHero uses the `super` class's `init` method within its own. It then continues on doing its own thing
- It does something similar with `greet`, going on to invoke `listPowers` (a method unique to the `SuperHero` class) which it defines next
- It overwrites the `super` class's `work` method

- The main thing to note here is that we have the `CarFactory` class that, when instantiated, has the ability to instantiate the `Car` class.
- It keeps track of the cars it's created in its `cars` list property
- It passes on its own `name` property to the `Car` object's `maker` property
- It assigns a serial number based on the number of cars in its `cars` list property
- `listCars` and `findCar` make use of its `cars` property to perform some basic tasks on its inventory
