All he really has is, like you say, superhuman observation and deduction skills. He was a huge success when he came (late 1800) and apparently that formula still works. Even the basically flawless vampires are driven by primal urges. Very human indeed. Probably we'll go back and fro between these two kinds of heros (Holmes and Superman) though.Zinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935881612077507321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-34560611931179848592010-04-11T11:35:48.008+02:002010-04-11T11:35:48.008+02:00The Anti-Hero trend has been going on for quite a ...The Anti-Hero trend has been going on for quite a while. People got tired of self-righteous super humans (super man) a long time ago. They just don't seem human to us mortals. Some claim that half of Spider-man success comes from the raw fact that Stan Lee designed him to have problems, I mean, as you say your self, which other super hero, other then spidy, could you imagine catching a cold? We want our heroes to be heroes despite misgivings and flaws, perhaps even because of them. <br />As with House etc, I believe that the the latest "normal" "super power" that many many new protagonists possess is near superhuman perception and observations skills. I.e. they notice more, and can draw more conclusions from what they see, then the people around them. <br /><br />There is more one could say on such a topic but my dog needs an emergency walk. I might check out raines later though.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204222169208641336noreply@blogger.com
