Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Power Boy cracks me up. Didn't realize who he was supposed to be until I saw the comments and then it was "Oh, of course!"

Chatty and I were talking about Ayn Rand, since that movie opens tomorrow, and he mentioned that Steve Ditko was big into objectivism, and was moving Spider-Man in that direction.
I have no idea if that's true, nor do I actually care if it's factual, because it led me to this thought: is there any way that superhero-ing is remotely tenable within an objectivist philosophy? I say no, not looking at traditional superheroes like Supes and Spidey and Batman, etc. I just don't think that constantly putting oneself in mortal danger meshes with looking out for one's best interest.
I could maybe see it with the more shades-of-grey superheroes like Peacemaker or The Comedian. (Yes, I know The Comedian was based on Peacemaker, so listing them both is a tad redundant. Don't care.)
Thoughts?
