No, I honestly don't know what you're referring to. I'm guessing the Matrix?
But I don't see any parallels there.

He's talking about "The Sixth Sense". That pissed me off too,
considering that the greatest issue of Rising Stars to date is going
ot be labeled "unoriginal", despite the fact that said issue was
probably written even before "The Sixth Sense" came out.

BTW, while we're on the subject. I know that origins are usually
pretty much untouchable in comic books (i.e you only go back and
examine the incidents much further down the line: i.e. the return of
the Russian spy that didn't stop the countdown in "The Incredible
Hulk", the villian who caused Krypton to explode in "Superman"), but
are you going to get into the origin of the flash that gave our
heroes/villians their powers?

Keep up the good work, dammit!

I would guess that yes, that is a major part of the arc.
