Jameson ruled. They're similar because they're instantiations of a Nietzschean will-to-power and are reminscent of William Randolf Hearst, so Stan Lee might not even know who Ayn Rand is.

Evangelical Capitalist Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I happened to see "Citizen Kane", which is literally based on Hearst's life, for the first time about the same time I read "The Fountainhead". After that, there was no doubt in my mind that Wynand was based, at least in his professional life, on Hearst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
