selfish jerk

You know I never thought about that. I hate this show more that I did already. Burn in Hell MANTITS!!

M.A.N.T.I.S., if I remember, was wanted by the authority, so if this technology became public, he'd be brought down and the technology possibly confiscated. That's my guess.

Dude... it is FICTION. It isnt real. So calm down.

Besides, I am a real handycapped person and I have bigger concerns than whining over what a fictional character does. You will see what that means soon enough when you grow up. We all have that epiphany. You will too.

"If he was a brilliant scientist that made an exo-skeleton that turned him from handicapped to a super hero, why didn't he make non-superpowerful suits that would help other disabled citizens walk again? "

Because HIS suit was a PROTOTYPE that he was TESTING so that he COULD make suits that would help other disabled citizens walk again. THAT WAS the reason it was developed. The super-human strength was actually a BUG (IE: a MALFUNCTION) which he did not expect. That was stated right there in the script and was a part of the plot from the very beginning. I don't know how you missed it.

Then when he realized the potential of the super-strength to prevent others from being crippled by criminals he saw that as too important a mission to pass up. Remember, he was cruppled by a sniper's bullet, not naturally.

The super-strength was too dangerous for normal use and the testing he did on himself every time he "suited up" was ONGOING research that KEPT being done WHILE he fought crime so that they could understand HOW to tweak the suit down to normal safe strength, etc and this too was an original and ongoung part of the plot.

And when you are spending YOUR time and money to help people then YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT to decide which groups of people you wish to help in what order of priority. In other words, he decided that preventing crime-victim injuries should be more important that DISEASE-victim injury because it is his perogotive to decide where to throw his own money on his own time. IE: HIS perogotive, not yours. WHen it is your money and time then you do it YOUR way and nobody should dictate how and where YOU should throw YOUR money. This is not personal, but why would any person think THEY should have any say in the spending of OTHER peoples money? That is not the thinking of a people who support themselves, but of ungrateful leaches who mooch off of others. I am speaking in general there, not personally to any one particular leach.

I haven't seen the show in as long a time as you either, but I remember all that as if I saw it last month.

So the character was NOT selfush as you claim. He was out there in a NON-bulletproof suit risking his life to help others being victimized. How you see that as selfish I have to wonder because no way can that be called selfish unless you dont know the storyline and if you dont know what you are talking about, why the heck do you think yiu have room to be speculating on that to which you neglected to even pay sufficient attention to KNOW such fundimental details? You're apparantly a heckler, not a fan. fans pay attention to and know all these details.

Lastly, like I said before, this is FICTION. Why get so bent out of shape over it?
