Yes, I do believe that in superhero stories firearms are seriously underrated.
I do also believe that stories like this happened more often then we think. But it's the winner about whom the stories are. I guess I'd like to see a very detailed story about a young gifted individual who goes through serious struggles whether to become a costumed crime fighter or not, and finally he decides to go for it and it's all very extoling and gripping and during his first night BAM he gets crippled. End of story.
I think life's unfair like that.

Y'know, that's why I liked Kickass. The hero gets horribly, brutally mangled on his first night out and spends months undergoing treatment for his injuries. Then, because he's an idiot (he admits this), he gets up and tries again.

If you didn't see it coming, I've succeeded. Ah, comic book deaths. Ah, ongoing series influenceable by reader opinion. I'm glad I'm free to make my own creative decisions.

Ha! Didn't see that coming! To be fair, DC did eventually get around to crippling (the Barbara Gordon version of) Batgirl. Although, given their habit of resurrecting characters, maybe it's only a matter of time before Uncle Bats wheels Oracle into one of Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus Pits. Seems to work for everyone else!
