We didn't get in to the origin aspect of it because they don't usually make very interesting scenes. They can, however, make for some interesting aspects. <BR/><BR/>In the last Writing 5 show I did, Sara Lafler had a scene about a super hero who had all the usual super hero stuff - flight, strength, etc. But could only use them to help white people. She wanted to help everyone, but her powers wouldn't let her. She flies into a burning building to help some people, only to find they are jewish, black and gay. She had a nice monologue about touring Auchwitz and being bit by a spider. However, if the scene had been about that time touring the concentration camp, eh, probably not so much fun.Joe Janeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858974237565248026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153888337668314458.post-88769562393813729632007-07-27T13:00:00.000-05:002007-07-27T13:00:00.000-05:00There's also the heroes who get their powers from ...There's also the heroes who get their powers from stuff they build, not necessarily inherent powers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
