In all seriousess, there is an ihero story about this one, a damage-regenerating woman named Courtesan who has been around for a looong time and does the naughty boogie (for pay) with super-types that have these sorts of problems (i.e.

 [1-03] "Man of Iron, Woman Under Glass"
Run off the road by a man wearing a home-made superhero costume, Jeremiah and Kurdy's injuries are tended to by a woman who explains that her brother has retreated into a fantasy world.
The Man of Iron story treads a dangerously thin line between the sublime and the ridiculous - even Straczynski has described it as "a somewhat fanciful tale" - but Jeremiah's righteous fury at the conclusion tips the balance.
The Woman Under Glass is probably the more worthwhile of the two, partly because it hangs a nice Chekhovian gun neatly on the wall, partly because it gives Ingrid Kavelaas plenty of material to make a good first impression as Erin.

Watching the gleam deepening and strengthening on the painted metal, it was almost possible for Boris to forget that there was a body at his feet, and it was something of a shock when he remembered suddenly and looked down.
The second shock, which came a few seconds later when Boris realized that he had mistaken the young man for someone else, was considerably worse.
