Fat DJ Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I'm talking about Kingdom Come Norman Mackay here, so no confusion arises. I say yes, what do you guys say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Out of curiosity, how do you figure he's a superhero? (And I'm moving this to DC, since this is about Kingdom Come.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat DJ Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Well, like Batman, Norman is a human being in possesion of no powers. Yet Batman is a traditional "Superhero". In fact, he's part of the model for what a "superhero" is. In a conflict of meta-humans, demi-gods, and superpowered beings, Norman was the most powerful of all beings there, the possible exception being the Spectre. I'd like to think a superhero is defined by ones actions, not their abilites, mainly due to the example and precedent of Batman. Norman MacKay saved the world. He stopped Superman. That's quite an act for anyone to perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 One word: Column! I can see your point when you put it that way, but I'm not sure I entirely agree. Let me reread Kingdom Come (coincidentally, it's sitting next to me as I type this), and I'll add my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat DJ Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Well, I've managed to bring it up in an essay on Sir Gawain at school, so I guess I can columnize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
