Whereas Stan Lee had this huge breakthrough of two-dimensional characters. So, they dress up in costumes and do good, but they've got a bad heart. Or a bad leg. I actually did think for a long while that having a bad leg was an actual character trait. (Alan Moore)

The latest breakthrough is that it helps Alzheimer's patients. View quote
