mhalpern--Actually, the inexpensive way materials were transported into orbit to build the SAS space station will be discussed on page 6 of this interview--and it's a cost measured in quantity of a certain moisturizing product instead of dollars. As for Adam using spinal repair or cybernetics . . . If he could do that, it'd be a really big jerk move not to make that tech available/known to the public. Next page (posting on Thursday), Savunn will drop a tidbit about how Adam manages to maintain a public illusion of his injury.
@tupapayon Ahh but do you expect the head of a successful tech company that supplies extremely advanced tech, with the help of many tech, medical and telepathic oriented supers essentially on call to NOT be able to figure out a way for him NOT to need the wheelchair? If he could build a city of a space station, cybernetics or at least spinal repair and mussel augmentation would be easy, considering most of the materials that thing is made of would have to be mined and refined in space, anti-gravity orbiter or not, if the getting supplies to orbit isnt the issue its getting supplies on that scale, and not wrecking global economy by making the cost of the primary resources skyrocket (pun not intended), something that isn't in the SAS itinerary.
tupapayon--I've always wondered about Clark's identity. Everyone loves to bash how flimsy it is, but the Clark persona is so different from Superman, I wonder if it'd play some sort of psychological trick on most people so that their brain couldn't look past the persona. Plus I like how in All Star Superman, simply by changing his posture to hunching over and slouching, it changed the look of his body as well.
It's just like realizing that if Superman wore glasses he would look exactly like Clark Kent.
Maybe not. Most wouldn't suspect that a handicap person could be a superhero.

Oh... About Clark Kent.... Don't take me too seriously... The mind sees what it wants to see... Or what it's told to see...
