To me, Superhighway speaks to our core flaw as humans, which is sin, and the road to hell being paved with good intentions. Therefore, the theme is as timely as ever. And as far as our expectations for a modern superhero goes, as always, we start out believing that the superhero is superhuman and, therefore, above sin. While traveling with him on his journey, however, we learn along with the superhero that we were wrong about that.Elli Karampela wrote:In what way do you think this book appeals to modernization and ways of power acquisition? Is this how we imagine a modern superhero?

I have seen way too many DC and Marvel shows and movies so my idea of a superhero is very much based on those concepts. I think Alex would fit in very well with The Atom.
