Oh wow!
I had a great post in mind for today, a new post about a potental NaNo novel. I really like writing those posts to, I like dreaming about new story ideas.
I threw it out when I read this blog post (here) by Julian Sanchez. I found the link on a conservative leaning website, but the fact that I'm a recovering comic book weenie ensured that it caught my eye.
What do many of the wealthy heroes like Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark and others have in common? They inherited their position and wealth. What commonality do Lex Luthor, the Kingpin and others of their ilk enjoy ? They are self-made men (or self-made mad men and villains).
It's an interesting thought line. In many cases, other than the ones listed in the article, the hero is striving to become more, starting with nothing, and aspring for greatness; think Peter Parker, Steve Rogers, et al. Now, we see that many of these same colorful heroic individuals are just as likely to lean on inherited wealth, Wayne, and some could argue, particularly in Roger's case, governement largesse.
An interesting concept for further focus.
