I'm talking about a characteristic whereby they are far greater than even a normal super-hero. I realise that we love to create characters that are super but flawed .. all through the ages this has been done. But I'm talking specifically about a unique characteristic that appeals to me .. and the best I can think of is that the madder Hulk gets the stronger he gets. Unlimited potential. Nynaeve was like that in WOT, Rand too i guess to some extent. Drizzt is the same, his abilities seem almost limitless, in the earlier books. Wolvie has it, to a lesser extent, in the saying that the writers trot out every once in a while .. <i>I'm the best at what I do</i>. These figures are most definately flawed. They are none perfect. But they have something limitless in them. That's what I'm talkin bout :). Yeah, i’m not talking about perfection.

I thought they all have a weakness to combat this sense of infinity ... The Hulk has to be angry to become stronger = hit him with a dose of valium and keep him happy. Superman = kryptonite. To make them less than "God" and have human failings. I always got the sense of vulnerability. Not as in weakness but that they have these amazing abilities (which could be used as easily for evil as for good) but there are limitations. Sure Hulk's limitations are significantly higher than muggles but there is not perfection. = closer to humanity than any concept of God. That’s not what I get from the Super Heroes.
