To me, an origin is when a guy is minding his own business and *zap* he's got superpowers. <br /><br /> Most of Marvel's heroes have "origins". Most of DC's heroes have "explanations". "I come from an alien planet/mysterious lost civilization" "I built this suit/gizmo" "I trained and practiced really really hard to be take on this role"<br /><br />You've made a good point that Rex is pretty close to unique in having an unwanted origin.Blazenoreply@blogger.com
