[Torg] Jumping in Torg

[Benjamin Grant]

Quite frankly, I find it disreputable to pose a question and then state
one's removal from the subject.  I will answer it anyways:

The media of comic books is NOT the source of the concept of human beings
with extraordinary ability, nor is it the most popular or most lucrative
forms of expression of the idea.  The superhero *movies*, for example,
vastly outsold the comic books, and were seen by vastly more people as well.

This discussion was never about comic books.  It was about superheroes.  The
two are not synonymous.

I will take it that you are persuaded then, and that you like me find it
unbearably absurd that after covering 3.5 THOUSAND meters in less than a
second one can't even leap a small street.

How one can have a super-powers conversation without having a
background in the literature that they are about... is beyond me. I
think i will bow out now.
