When Mr. Incredible saves a man from falling to his death, he is thanked with a lawsuit.  The ambulance chasing lawyer claims that Mr. Incredible’s actions have caused untold pain and suffering.  Did Mr. Incredible violate the “victim’s” property rights to commit suicide?  In another case, a lawsuit is brought by people who were saved when Mr. Incredible saved their train from crashing.  Other suits are brought by people who say they have been harmed by supers, raising the question of whether the legal system can help to internalize the externalities imposed on society by hero work.
