...hard to describe just how adored this shuttlecock master is in China, where badminton is followed with the kind of passion Americans reserve for basketball or baseball. Sporting a coxcomb of spiky hair and stylish sideburns, Lin goes by the nickname Super Dan - pronounced "dahn," not like the shortened version of Daniel. After striking gold, the 24-year-old circled the stadium with a Chinese flag fluttering from his shoulders, like Superman with his cape...

"It's kind of a video comic book," says King. Others have recently attempted similar projects, referred to as "motion comics." Warner Bros. (which is owned by Time Warner, TIME's parent company) has released a Batman-related Web series and a motion-comic adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen. Yet N. has been specifically constructed to appeal to the short attention spans...
