这里搬运一下莫里森7号答复的我的问题，即《红色之子》里他提供了多少创意，我想知道纸条这个梗究竟是不是莫里森想到的，他说纸条那句话是米拉写的（这也我知道啊！），不过他的回答要更让我惊讶，他实际上提供的创意更多！可以实锤整部作品属于两人共同创意了，以下是完整答复：

《红色之子》结尾那个重磅反转设定，超人是从一个毁灭的未来乘坐飞船穿越到当下时空是我想出来的，但正如柯特·布席克自己指出过的，那是他写给《星城》里核心的超人替代型英雄圣徒的起源。我设计的重磅反转是故事结尾的文字伏笔，卡尔-艾尔名字里的艾尔来源于卢瑟里的L，数年来的DC科幻角色的命名里早就铺垫过这条脉络，比如乔丹·卢斯-L这类名字都是佐证。这个创意让我格外满意，超人并非字面意义上 明日之人，而是形成一套极具讽刺的宿命闭环，卡尔-艾尔/超人，到头来竟是莱克斯·卢瑟的直系后裔！

那时我和马克还是亦师亦友的关系，我们曾在电话里花大量时间畅快探讨他剧本里的剧情瓶颈。我为《红子》构思过许多独立分镜桥段，几段专属台词——还给他带去不少实用参考素材，比如后来被改编成绿灯侠起源的越战战俘故事——但作品的主线和基础设定都是马克一手敲定的，或许你会感到意外，那句台词“你何不把整个世界装进瓶子里？”是米拉写的

（原文）The closing reveal in Red Sun, that Superman had been rocketed to the present from a doomed future was mine, but as Kurt Busiek himself has pointed out, that's just the origin of Samaritan, the principal Superman stand-in from Astro City. My big twist was the closing reveal that the 'El' in 'Kal-L' was the 'L' in 'Luthor', abstracted through centuries of DC sci-fi names like Jordan Luth-L etc. The idea I was so pleased with was not Superman being literally the man of tomorrow, but the perfect ironic loop where Superman/Kal-El turns out to be the direct descendant of Lex Luthor!

I was still in a friend and mentor relationship with Mark at that time, and spent many enjoyable hours talking through his story problems on the phone. I suggested a few specific scenes and bits of dialogue for Red Sun - and I pointed Mark in the direction of some useful reference, like the Vietnam POW story that became Green Lantern's origin - but Mark had the big concept and all the basics mapped out，and you may be surprised to learn that the letter reading 'Why don't you put the whole world in a bottle?' was all Millar.

这么顺下来，莫里森提供的创意还是很多的（甚至都设计过分镜和专属台词了），当年完全值得获得一个署名啊…
