In a post by
mahaliem about the S7 episode "Traveller" I recently saw some discussion about nature vs. nurture among SV and DC characters.
In Lex's case this has already been discussed to death, what with Lionel and Lillian, the parents from hell. I guess the consensus among fans is that in Lex's case, nurture was the deciding factor that made him who he is now. In AUs, Lex-without-Lionel tends to be written as a good guy.
But what about other characters? What about Clark without the Kents, or Ollie Queen / Bruce Wayne (I tend to see them as somewhat interchangeable, SV!Arrow is a lighter version of Batman) without dead!parents? What about a Lana who wasn't raised by Nell?
( My speculation behind cut, some Traveller spoilers )
I'm so sorry about this poll...
