"Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, who turned personal tragedy into a public crusade and from his wheelchair became the nation's most recognizable spokesman for spinal cord research, has died. He was 52.

There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.

I read that this morning on comcast. It's sad to see someone like that die, but eventually everybody does.

Yes very sad. I have always been a fan of the Superman comic, and the movies (in fact I have the DVD collectors edition.), and have always thought Chistopher Reeve as a person was very brave for how he handled his disability. He was one lucky person in a sense that most people who break their neck either just die, or spend the rest of their lives in a bed hooked up to machines. He wouldn't have that, and demanded to be mobile and to undergo daily physical therapy...he was certain he would one day walk again. He thought stem cells would be the answer, but he was slowly doing it himself. He was able to move his finger and some feeling was returning to his body.

Anyhow, its sad to see someone who has fought so hard to be alive succumb to heart failure. R.I.P.
