Like fiction? Like alternate reality? Like thinking about Buffy Summers being descended from a line of superhumans? Read within... for a "theory of everything" as it applies to heroic (and apparently, villainous) characters.

        Nebula-award winning author Philip José Farmer
        introduced the Wold Newton family, a collection of heroes
        and villains whose family-tree includes Sherlock Holmes,
        Fu Manchu, Philip Marlowe, and James Bond. In books,
        stories, and essays he expanded the concept even further,
        adding more branches to the Wold Newton family-tree. <STRONG>MYTHS

        Expanding the family even farther are contributions from
        Farmer’s successors—scholars, writers, and
        pop-culture historians—who bring even more fictional
        characters into the fold.</SPAN></FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/Pulp.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.pjfarmer.com/img/6C39BEEB-4BD6-4D9B-8E6D-7627753AF16E" alt="1795 - Wold Newton meteor strike: Eighteen individuals "were riding in two coaches past Wold Newton, Yorkshire....
