Building on a movie/novel (Limitless) devoted to vulnerability coping and living with ICT, I challenge the claim that modern heroism entails overcoming vulnerability with the help of enhancement and computers. Gradually, however, due to the tools and technologies he develops and puts to use, the Slave becomes increasingly powerful and autonomous, and the Master increasingly vulnerable and dependent. Building on a recent action movie, featuring a typical modern hero struggling in a world of ICT, I will argue that this is not the case. So far, the movie/novel seems in complete agreement with Coeckelbergh's verdict that modern heroes, notably in contemporary action films, are very powerful and have limited vulnerability.	./cache/cord-012335-4io15ho0.txt	./txt/cord-012335-4io15ho0.txt
