    Honestly, if there’s already one fantastical way to become a superhero (or supervillain), why not have more?

      I can logically see that too, but personally I just find that it undermines how “special” the solo superhero is in their own story, which is a classic theme in comics.

        Ambush Bug gained his powers when a spaceship carrying alien laundry crashed down in the asylum where he was being treated, and he dressed in some of it.

        To me, that’s always going to be special.
