End of the American Way

I always thought that line was lame, and that Superman was also lame. Why doesn't anyone make a Lobo movie?

PS: Superman is a Canadian character.

It's probably not a coincidence that Spiderman later emerged in the 60s. The time of the cold war. He represents the superstar scientist. The space race was on, teh bomb hung over everyone's head, and people realised that strength alone, even superstrength, was not enough. IIRC Batman also became much more popular during this period.

If I might belatedly interject, here, Spider-Man wasn't about being a scientist at all. Spider-Man was a much more personal character than Superman or Batman (who had, until this time, 2-dimensional cookie-cutter personas) and was geared more towards the focus on the individual and moralism brought on by the 60's. The whole scientist thing was really just an excuse to get Spider-Man to shoot webs, since Peter Parker designed the compound himself, being a chemistry wiz.
