Ayn Rand (born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum) was a Russian-American novelist, screenwriter, playwright, newspaper columnist, and philosopher, best known for her two bestselling novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), and for the philosophical system she developed, called Objectivism . The Fountainhead gave her widespread "mainstream" success and even acclaim, but Atlas Shrugged and her non-fiction writings on Objectivism made her a polarising political and cultural figure, even after her death at 77 in 1982. To some extent that remains true to this day - at least in the United States, where she remains a household name. Her cultural impact in other countries seems to be negligible; on the other hand her two main novels remain in print in the UK and can be found even in smaller bookshops.

Frequently, LIEs will be focused on increasing the amount of return for the effort put into something, looking at available statistics and data before seeing if any improvements can be made to the functioning of procedures and methodologies.

  Stephen John Ditko was a comic book artist and key figure in the early years of Marvel, being a co-creator along side Stan Lee (ESE) of both Spider-Man and Dr. Strange. However in 1966, he would completely leave Marvel for Charleston comics where he created the Question as a backup to the Blue Beetle stories he was doing art for. Charleston’s IPs would later be acquired by DC hence why both these characters are now under the DC umbrella. However during his time at Marvel, Ditko would become increasingly enamored with the work of Ayn Rand (LIE) , becoming a self-described objectivist. The Question would be created to explore Ditko’s idea of what an objectivist superhero would be. This archetype would be further refined into Mr. A, an independently published character through which Ditko could more fully explore his ideas. Despite runs at DC and even a return to marvel during the Eighties, none of Ditko’s later work would acquire anywhere near the level of fame of his work with St...
