He's coming. It'll be a boy in a wheelchair with superpowers.
From the piece on the ABC News site...
U.S. philanthropist and businessman Jay T. Snyder says he was inspired by President Barack Obama's effort to reach out to the Muslim world in his January 2009 inaugural address. Last month, Snyder flew 12 disabled Americans to Damascus to meet a group of disabled young Syrians, and one of their main goals was to come up with ideas and story lines for the new superhero.
"The only limit was the imagination these kids had — the opportunity for a great story," said Snyder, a comic book collector who heads HBJ Investments LLC and whose non-profit organization, the Open Hands Initiative, financed the project. "They helped create something by their combined talents, and that becomes a gift to the world."
