Questions should be constructed for a "Yes" or "No" response to be sufficient. 

Avoid the words "simple", "easy", "just" and any other synonym which minimizes what I or someone else has contributed or will contribute.

If you what to have a conversation, lead with "Tell me about how ..."

If you don't have a relationship with me or someone, preface the topic with "Can i engage you in a conversation about...?"

If the topic is complicated, provide background, your own thoughts and suppositions or premise. By doing so, you might find the answer.

I was having some fun drawing Gladiator recently. Drawing really gives me time to let my mind drift.

I was considering the 'fit' for the character in the Marvel Universe. Which was also fun.

There is a great comic that John did The FF #247 that always makes me think about self will and perception.

I think it demonstrates everything you need to really know to get the character.

I don't think I have seen anywhere that Gladiator is in anyway weakened by rocks from his home planet, or any more or less susceptible to magic that a regular human. The first of these alone would give him a significant advantage over DC's Legend.

Anyway. Thanks for bringing up the subject.
