(24:55) Is Mark Millar’s Superman story a good example of destiny? (38:17) I was leaning towards no free will because of Earth 33, but then I remember an issue where our imaginations are products of other Earth’s. (46:13) Wouldn’t the Book of Oa make a case for pre-destination? (52:38) Free will.  Because of the nature of free will versus fate. (56:36) If there are characters named Dr. Fate and Dr. Destiny, doesn’t it prove that those things exist?
