How is Steven "fated"?
Steven seems to be fated in more than one sense. There is the story line of the family medical history with Huntington's Disease and weather or not he will write the Superman comic. He seems fated in both, if he didn't write the comic, 1st of all, it would be a strange and sort of pointless graphic novel. 2nd, the parallels with Huntington's Disease would be lost making another strange aspect to this graphic novel. Steven does seem to have free will as he does choose to make a meeting with his friend Jeremy about making the comic. Even though things seem to be set in the terms of what makes sense, the parallels between the disease and the comic, he makes small choices along the way that inevitably help him come up with the "best damned story ideas you've ever heard for Superman" (p. 124).
