The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

I also don’t think it’s true that political tolerance is a pre-mass enfranchisement policy, I think it’s a product of the franchise and a desire to limit the divisions which politics creates.

It’s what makes it stand out to me among the various and sundry “Superheroes take over the world” storylines. The only other one I can think of that manages the feeling is Justice Lords from the JLA cartoon.
