Parabasis Bait

Okay, I may not be as big a comic book fan as the folks at Parabasis, but I have come up with an absolute law of where superheros come from. Can any of you guys think of counter examples?

THE KENNEDY LAW OF SUPERHERO ORIGINS
  • Some heroes are born super (X-Men, Superman)
  • Some heroes achieve superiority (Batman)
  • And others have superiority thrust upon them by radioactivity (Spiderman, the Hulk)
  • or when their body is cybernetically rebuilt after an accident (Iron Man, Robocop)
