	To all readers:
  I was recently looking back at some of the arguements that had been
flying around the network.  I was particularly enthralled by the
comparision of SUperman to Darth Vader.  No one really expressed a
view point on either side, so I will.
  Of course, Superman isn't called Superman because of his blue
hair.  His power comes from the yellow sun and it has made him
all powerful in many respects.  But, without the yellow sun he would
have grown up to be a normal man.
  On the other hand, we have Darth Vader who was born with no
super powers and yet through training and time he became the
most powerful person next to the Emperor.  Vader's powers come from
the mind and all its splendor.  He doesn't have to rely on his
environment.  Compared to Superman, Vader is superior.
  While Superman can move planets, he is powerless without a
yellow sun.  Vader has many mental powers and, though his body
may be crippled, he would still have these powers.  I would say
that Superman would have a disadvantage if he were to fight
against Darth Vader.
