by the same token though, shouldnt you want the powers to remain permanent? In the comics the metagene bomb used in Invasion! caused plenty of characters to gain powers and in many cases enhanced existing ones. It's an existing, heavily integrated part of the comic universe, while the DC origins only normally effect the actual character. Marvel's a bit different since their universe is very much integrated and has become increasingly so. Even the spider has been written to have as much universal significance as say the Teen Titans in some stories.
