"I don't know why so many superheroes are orphans. Maybe it's because the world seems crazy to us and we need it to make sense. Maybe we're looking for a way to be important and powerful, instead of abandoned little kids. Or maybe it's just that, if we had parents, they would have talked us out of fighting crime in our long underwear."

-Gabriel Reece, superhero and orphan

"Superheroes don't work together for the sake of greater efficiency. I mean, come on, what does Superman really need Batman for? I'll tell you what for. It's so he has somebody he can talk to."

-Alec Morgan, superhero and orphan
