Yeah. But that was a really stupid weakness, don't you think? I'm glad they did away with it after Hal killed the GL Corps, and all that.

I wonder if any Viking worshipped Vidar. I suppose it's possible, but I get the impression that he was a god simply because he was Odin's son. Sort of like he was simply a member of the species of gods.

Vidar was in the sagas, but I do not know if he was worshipped or not. Possibly by cobblers or some other obscure group. (He was the one with the shoe, wasn't he?)

Put my vote in for Powdered Toast Man ! His cinnamon-sugar breath would not only blind both Superman and Batman but it's oh so yummy and nutritious too!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.John Stuart Mill
It's easy to be a superhero when you have otherworldly powers, but all batman has is a fancy belt and a car and he still makes due. Plus he doesn't spend half his time moaning over some girl he can't have.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
