      The idea that her powers are a result of training and discipline and it's something the military "invested" in her and she owes them service in return for that gift? A fucking lie "I could ALWAYS do this I was ALWAYS awesome It's my fucking BLOOD, it's MY BIRTHRIGHT"

      "My power is MINE, it's PART OF ME, and I can use it or not use it ANY FUCKING WAY I WANT I don't owe anyone jack shit, I don't have to be loyal to any-fucking-one but myself and my own conscience Anyone who doesn't like it can eat a faceful of plasma"

      This is, of course, not a wholly unproblematic message In fact it's the core thing Ayn Rand was about But, after all, themes are about overall emotional feelings, not developed political platforms That teenage anti-authority rage? Those teenagers DO HAVE A POINT

      "In fact it's the core thing Ayn Rand was about" Well except that Carol was largely using her powers for others, not self interest. So it's more following the Spider-Man way.

      Spider-Man started as an Objectivist, Steve Ditko was a hardcore Randite

      Which is funny, considering how helping others is portrayed in a lot of Rand's work.

      This is kind of a flattened view of Rand I hate to sound like I'm defending her but look, in The Fountainhead she has Howard Roark tell Gail Wynand "If this boat were sinking I would willingly drown to save your life without a moment's hesitation"

      Rand's whole "selfishness vs. altruism" thing was really about *listening to other people's opinions* more than it was *serving other people's interests* In her world, someone like Roark actually would be capable of true heroism and someone like Peter Keating isn't

      Because Roark does the things he does because he really truly believes in them, and Keating does them out of a dishonest desire for approval And even though people theoretically approve of heroes, if you actually die a heroic death you aren't around to experience that approval

      I'm not saying her whole thing with Nietzschean Herrenmoral isn't disturbing -- although you learn it better from Nietzsche himself than her version of it But that's why it's consonant with her weird stanning of that guy who went to prison for kidnapping and murdering a girl

      The idea is that whether someone is a superhero or a supervillain they do the bizarre and unlikely things they do BECAUSE THEY WANT TO and they don't give a flying fuck what anyone else thinks about it Something we all can at least emotionally identify with

          To her it was about whether you were doing things out of a sense of obligation or like you needed to do them to fit in, right?
