This post is, as usual for lukeprog, intensely awesome and almost ludicrously well-cited. Thank you! I will be linking this to friends.
I'm somewhat uncertain about that picture at the top, though. It's very very cool, but it may not be somber enough for this subject matter; maybe an astronomy photo would be better. Or maybe the reverse is needed, and the best choice would be a somewhat silly picture of a superhero, as referenced in the opening paragraph.
I'm now inordinately curious what the picture at the top was.
It was the image at the top of this quite good post that I ran across coincidentally:

Though, the image in that header seems to have been ran through some Photoshop filters; the original image from the OP was color and didn't have any sketch lines, if I recall right.
I found the original image on Tineye ; it appears to be a piece of Mass Effect fan art (the Citadel station in the background is a dead giveaway). One of the originals can be seen on DeviantArt. I am somewhat saddened that the image appears to have been used without attribution, however.
Some spacey landscape, as I recall.
The Superman is no longer human. If he is who "prevents us" from robots, it's not our battle anymore. In that case we already depend on a good will of a nonhuman agent. Hope, he's friendly!
