	* The real-life histories of Ben Franklin, his family and [[Wikipedia:Joseph Priestley\|Joseph Priestley]] are a lot more interesting than this novel, and I recommend reading through it if you're interested. I also think it's possible there could be more to this novel than we realize, and have posted part of my elaborate theory in [[Theory:Benjamin Franklin]] and the rest in [[Spoiler talk:Upcoming episodes#Linda's ability\|spoiler talk]]. It is an elaborate theory, though, so it's definitely a stretch.--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 03:33, 5 March 2008 (EST)		* The real-life histories of Ben Franklin, his family and [[Wikipedia:Joseph Priestley\|Joseph Priestley]] are a lot more interesting than this novel, and I recommend reading through it if you're interested.

	** I'm mixed on this story, really. Making people of myth real and explaining their truths through the revelation of their powers while still grounding them in reality is sort of fun, like what they did with Takezo Kensei. Kensei was real but his stories are larger than life whereas Benjamin Franklin was real but his stories are more grounded, so I don't think he was a great choice. Maybe Nikolai Tesla, King Arthur, Heracles or something, but a respected scientist known for just being seemingly crazy enough to fly a kite during a lightning storm? Better to tell the tale of an ordinary guy becoming outstanding. --[[User:PeterDawson\|PeterDawson]] 17:11, 6 March 2008 (EST)		** I'm mixed on this story, really.

			*Although I wasn't thrilled about the graphic novel. I'm not going to say it was lazy storytelling. Mythbusters already busted this myth (he would've died), so it couldn't have happened this way (so in other words there would be no belittling). Now Ben Franklin could've easily had the experiment, but he wasn't holding the kite string at the time. But since this is an interpretation based on that particular myth, it gives more credence to it. And other than that I don't think writers mean to belittle history, but when you have aliens that are millions of years more advance or super beings at your disposable, it just seems likely they are going to use it as such. --[[User:Dman dustin\|Dman dustin]] 15:09, 8 March 2008 (EST)

	****** Also, you say that historical figures having abilities has become a cliche in fiction, that it somehow makes their actual achievements less impressive, and it implies humans aren't "good enough", and that normal people aren't as good and can't do amazing things. While #1 is true (Stargate did/still does it brilliantly, though), the other two, I'm not so sure. If Ben Franklin had "Super Reasoning", or "Super Intelligence", or "Super Postal System-creating", then yes, it would be saying that a normal person couldn't have done those great things. But his power is [[Electrical absorption]], a single notch above [[Alejandro's ability]] and just below [[Liquification]] in usefulness. This graphic novel was pretty disappointing, though.
