Not Sam Jackson's Lex Luthor impression: "The supermen must die!" Absolutely not David, with his mindset of "steal what you can, whenever you can." Objectivism calls thieves and looters the worst kind of villain. An Objectivist Jumper would immediately become a delivery person, using his great talent to _generate_ wealth. The fastest pizza guy in the world, as long as you send a snapshot of your front door and email it to him. A high-speed courier for an elite international cabal of businessmen. A mercenary. An assassin. Any job for someone who needs to be at a specific place at a specific time. No, David is exactly the kind of person Sam Jackson is justified in trying to stop (though not by those methods). Don’t be daft; none of these characters represent Objectivism.
