Eisner was perhaps using comic exaggeration rather than saying the Spirit had a superpower. Do you anticipate taking any flak for this from fans?

What else do you think you’ll get flak for?
Because he doesn’t have a blue suit, which would have looked silly. That Ellen Dolan isn’t just a little simpering daughter to somebody; she’s a surgeon. I don’t know what I’ll get flak for - I just do the stuff I do! … Comics fans are wonderful, sincere people, but they can be a little arch.
