Let's face it - if people really developed superhero powers you can bet your dollar that some of them would set themselves up as kings of their own nations - and if you're stronger than all the world's armies then why wouldn't you?

If this reality came to play in your comics, however, say Superman set himself up as King of the Mid-West, Batman as overlord of Gotham, and WonderWoman ruled California with an iron fist - we the reader would get bored very quickly. Because after you claim the throne, what else is there to be said?


I suspect we will see "The Ian Frazer Building" on our university campus sometime - but he'll probably have to fund it. But yeah, it's the Wally Lewis's of the world who end up with the bronze statues in our parks.
