Just saw the new Spider Man flick, and on the way home it struck me - it seems an immutable law of the universe that whenever a super-hero is born, a super-villain must also come into existence (though not always through the actions of the super-hero). Poor Spidey can't use his newfound powers to help the little guy exclusively. No, he has to waste most of his time fighting people as enhanced as he is. I wonder if this isn't some sort of cosmological lesson, that just like tiny particles of matter can pop out of empty space as long as an equal amount of antimatter particles appear as well, super-heroes and super-villains are inextricably linked. So would that mean that if we lived in a world without heroes, we also wouldn't have any villains? But wouldn't that world just be a whole lot of nothing then? Going to have to sleep on this one.
