Somebody out there in net.robotics *must* be making generic robot parts for
these folks ("No, no -- NO ANDROIDS!  I don't WANT it to resemble humans...
I just want it to squash city blocks").

Good idea about car accidents, tho' -- I'm afraid the most "ordinary" death
in comics I can think of is Capt. Marvel, and he got his cancer from
super-villain fighting...

Why do I have this image of John Byrne wheeling in a dead Alpha Flight
member on a hand truck and saying to a Federal Express person "I need this
body in Calgary by tomorrow!" ?  Guess I'm just warped...
