@CaioTrubat: I don't think that whether or not heroes lessen trust in government was the central argument in Civil War. That story was about whether or not the government can trust unlicensed vigilantes with the power of weapons of mass destruction with the safekeeping of the planet, all while having no accountability for their actions.

Apples and oranges, my friend. :)

@TheBatman586: I will agree that they can't solve every problem that mankind faces, but a great many are dealt with in our favorite pages.

You cite poverty as one example, so I'll go with that one first. Say that The Flash teams up with Batman to provide cheap, affordable housing to everyone on the planet. Wayne provides the materials, Flash is a one-man labor force. Have you really then solved the problem of poverty or just alleviated one of its symptoms as well as removed one of the primary motivators for people to be lifted out of poverty?

I won't dispute that heroes calling governments into question or opposing them when they become overtly corrupt (like the situation in "V for Vendetta"), but overall, I think that heroes are not doing enough to promote self-reliance on the part of human powers.

It has to be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

Much like soldiers whose performance begins to suffer after repeated deployments, heroes who fail to take some R&R time are far more likely to snap and either injure someone or allow harm to come to another through improper action.

@The Lobster : Taskmaster would make a terrific villain for a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie. It would let them create some awesome action, and Joss knows his way around fight choreography.

I think that the removal of the Trinity allows the revamped Golden Age characters to have more of a role in the book that is basically devoted to them.

He doesn't have to know how much there was in total, just that the amount he had seen was enough to feed his family for a month. Given that he probably has no way of knowing how much MORE there was, that's rather sad indeed.

And that's why you should help support the creators who put out work that isn't limited to that. Don't steal their stuff! ;)
