Pygmalion was a talented Greek sculptor who viewed women as flawed creatures and tended to avoid them. He created a sculpture of a woman (Galatea) presumably without all the imperfections that he saw in the female gender, and ironically falls in love with it. After Pygmalion showers the ivory creation with expensive gifts, the goddess of love Aphrodite takes notice. She brings the statue to life and the two are wed and live happily ever after. This love story is often recreated through various artistic renderings (plays, paintings).

I think having a real life version of Jason Bourne would be helpful. His unique skill set and combat ability puts him ahead of any soldier, and his character is more realistic than a traditional superhero. The plot in the movie centers around the CIA worrying about him potentially using his ability for destruction and revenge, but the audience knows that he has a much more mild, compassionate temperament. He could be extremely useful in real life as a crime fighter or a soldier in the army; who wouldn't want someone who can beat up a fully armed CIA operative with only a newspaper?
