Thanks! The wide imagination of fandom is certainly to be admired (and maybe feared a little too lol).
That's a good discussion point. It certainly makes no-powers AUs especially when it comes to superhero characters all that more interesting, because you do have to rely on other aspects of their personalities to fuel their motivations and find their interests. Obviously if their whole background changes (say, Bruce grows up with his parents or Clark is raised Kryptonian), you definitely can't expect them to stay the same, as even we saw in Smallville, with Clark Luthor. Though in that case, one of my main frustrations is that i like to see some goodness in Clark, regardless of circumstances so to see him be that irredeemable was tough, but we do see what side the writers took when it comes to nature vs nurture, whether intentionally or not.
