Central Daylight Time, LISTSERV@l....... writes: Additionally, as the creators of _Superman_ were Canadian, there may be a tongue-in-cheek element of national proprietariness on the part of the writers in employing that particular phrase in that way. In retrospect I am surprised that there wasn't a reference to XMEN too. It seems to me that they could have done some good stuff paralleling Nick's vampirism to XMEN mutations. .... and weren't the bad guys who installed Wolverine's exoskeleton some evil sub-set of the Canadian government? I suppose that they chose the Superman references because more people would have been familiar with that comic book than the XMEN in the early 1990s.
