Going through my brother’s Marvel trading cards, the heroes I kept coming back to were the beautiful ones whose stories were laced with some kind of sadness, heroes like Rogue, Phoenix, Wolverine and Cloak and Dagger.

He shakes hands and signs autographs and poses for snapshots with wide-eyed kids, smiling and exuding the most perfectly innate grace and noblesse oblige you could ever want in a chair-wielding wrestler turned sword-swinging movie star...
