At the time of writing this post TV viewers in India are awaiting with great anticipation & excitement the exploding conclusion to Heroes in Chapter 23 - "How To Stop An Exploding Man" due to telecast in 1 hour. Among the little nuggets they will learn today the most trivial yet interesting will be the first name of Mr. Bennet when he tells Peter to call him Noah.
As I am about to race down home to watch the season finale on Star World, I must admit watching it for the 3rd time with the only excuse that this will be the first time it will be on TV I was asked by a friend, who I just handed over my copy of The Incredibles; what is it that I find so magnetic about super hero themes. To answer his question I simply answered: watch The Incredibles and instead of the metaphorical super powered characters bound by law to hide their true selves think it in the context of marriage & how many people including yourself (he's married) think of it as a bounding force that makes you feel as if you lost your true identity. And the moment you make that connection with Mr. Incredible perhaps not in entirety, but you will at least to some degree; understand why I am a sucker for Super Heroes.
