Interesting that you figure that technology has to be physically integrated into the body to give "powers."
If I gave the impression that something has to be integrated into the body to be counted as a "power" then I wasn't making myself clear. I consider my wheelchair repairs as excellent psychological conditioning for future implants, and I'm not "physically integrated" into my chair the way a cochlear implant is. So let me try again.
The premise of argument is that the duality created by the secret identity is an outmoded concept. The idea that Superman has to suppress his abilities and becomes Clark Kent to lead a normal life is a concept I find bothersome. Celebrities and politicians seem to do okay without secret identities. Star-Lord, the Fantastic Four, Doc Savage, and Doktor Sleepless seem to get by well enough without leading dual lives. I don't see why it's so important for Clark Kent to be a separate person from Superman, aside from tradition.
This is one reason I prefer (or preferred) Wildstorm's Maejestic character. He had all the powers of Superman, and he integrated them into his lifestyle. The need for Clark Kent to hide aspects of himself, and build a life around that subset of traits, is something I don't find appealing. It's something that I personally think dates the superhero genre as a pre-Internet art form.
Maybe I am drawing a line here, but it's a line dividing pre-Internet/Internet. Seeing as how we've crossed that line, unless super-hero comics are to stay a kind of 20th Century period genre, I'd like for them to cross it as well.
