Basically what Orson Scott Card did with Ender Wiggin, then. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Davies is a fan.
Between Card and Whedon (another huge influence on Davies), we need to compile a list of writers who have ruined current genre storytelling (and I actually used to like Whedon, until I realized that his Emo dial has no setting lower than 11 and his much-vaunted "feminism" is actually as creepy as anything Larry Flynt could come up with).
