<font color="cyan">I hate it too when script writers decide to take liberties with a superhero's origins. I'm probably just nit-picking here...

Take the recent Spiderman movie for example. Instead of getting bitten by a radioactive spider, its a genetically engineered one(okay, maybe they wanted to change this to make it more up to date). In the comic book storyline, I don't recall Mary Jane Watson being present when he got bitten either. She didn't even show up until much later and if I'm not mistaken, Peter's love interest at the time was some other girl(darn, I forgot her name but she's the blonde one with the pony tail and glasses).

I guess its hard to balance staying faithful to the comic book origins of a superhero whilst taking into account movie production feasibility, costs and constraints. Well, just thought I'd throw in my two cents here.</font color>
