Darkman's strength

[Vigilante]

Hey,

In your humble opinions...

Does Darkman's altered strength get some consistent limits, or if he'll push his mind far beyond the boiling point he would be virtually able to do even more incredible things? After all, we don't know anything about human organism's real capacities, isn't it? The DARKMAN movie points the finger at such issues, I guess.

I also noticed - in my 15 years Darkman fan life-span - that Westlake even gets increased reflexes, notable running ability (despite his injured-to-life leg, the right one), and slightly enhanced senses (well, actually in the movie there're no strong argumentations to support the senses theory, it's just my guess, but Darkman looks like he has no more actual need glasses, even if he's still carry them, if you took notice of that).

I've heard of people who can't feel pain doing incredible things that seem inhuman, so the stuff Darkman does isn't that far-fetched.

I talked to a cop who had to take down a guy high on Angel Dust. The guy was so far gone he was standing in the middle of the freeway punching out the windows of passing cars.

So a bunch of cops rush ther guy and tackle him: a cop on each arm, each leg, and the cop I talked to (who was a pretty big dude) kneeling on his chest to read him his rights.

The guy on angel dust stood up.

Incredible story, it's great!

In my humble opinion, "DARKMAN" shows us that human brain is still an uncharted territory and human body has still a full set of faculties never properly explored. Darkman represents one step beyond the average man.

Now a theory for all of you:

Darkman's strength comes from the unbalanced "rushes" of adrenaline inside his body, and that because the Rangeveritz procedure. FACT!

But I'm wondering if Darkman is a mutant in the first place.
After all he survived to such terrible detonation (the incident) and lived for roughly two decades, which is almost impossible for a man in his permanent conditions.

Probably Peyton has some sort of 'reinforced' stamina which allows his organism to substain itself despite all the adversities it comes to face.

His mutant/divergent component may be the blood - stamina, adrenaline, ormons - they are all 'magnified' and altered by the blood.

Bottom line: Darkman's strength wasn't only the result of the Rangeveritz procedure, but also the "outcome" of a nervous system "bathed" by the mutant blood. Otherwise, he would have spent his life as "John Doe" in that hospital for the rest of his days.

What do you think about it?
