Re: Not Batman, but since we're talking superheroes and class
...Working class roots? I get what you're saying, but Peter Parker invented the web shooters and was made by Objectivist Steve Dikto... I don't think he was intended to be some ordinary joe, he was always intelligent, moral, and early on... a bit of a misanthropist prick (fortunately this was phased out). I'm not sure why you object to him being a scientist/successful journalist, because he *earned* those accolades through hard work, and by making him stuck in the everyman role, despite his brilliance, isn't that saying that no matter how smart you are, if you're *not* born into high circumstances you aren't going anywhere?
