Many recently released Hollywood films feature superheroes like Superman, Ironman, the Hulk, Optimus Prime, and so on who possess amazing superpower and defeat supervillains with unassailable commitment to moral justice. Interestingly, different superheroes possess and exercise their superpower in very different fashions. What is more, this aspect of their difference is intimately related to an issue that is lately in intense debate among metaphysicians of powers and dispositions, the issue of the possibility of intrinsic interferers with dispositions. This paper will argue that a strong case can be made against this possibility when we give due weight to the commonsensical understanding of superheroes and their superpower. Whilst other arguments have been raised against the possibility of intrinsic interferers with dispositions in the latest literature, this will present further difficulties for those who accept it.

性格干扰者和超级英雄的形而上学

许多最近上映的好莱坞电影都以超人、钢铁侠、绿巨人、擎天柱等超级英雄为主角,他们拥有惊人的超能力,并以对道德正义的坚定承诺击败了超级反派。有趣的是,不同的超级英雄以非常不同的方式拥有和行使他们的超能力。更重要的是,他们差异的这一方面与最近在权力和性情的形而上学家之间激烈辩论的一个问题密切相关,即内在干扰者对性情的可能性的问题。本文将争辩说,当我们对超级英雄及其超级大国的常识性理解给予应有的重视时,可以提出强有力的理由来反对这种可能性。
