[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5897633, member: 51930"] I think that modern comic books would count as Supers being a significant population. I just don't think that mutants would be the only targets: anyone in tights, let alone with powers, would draw that kind of fire if that were the case. But are we thinking OctoArm would really be in the general population of typists? He'd be snatched up by every company and made a personal secretary or work as an IT guy or something. WeldEye, too. Eventually WeldEye would only get called in to special projects that need him to go somewhere without tools, like near microwaves dishes or, like, Space. And Chick Magnet would have long ago left the world at large to be on his own island, or as a celebrity. :) I think we'd look at them the way we do virtuosos: acknowledge they're the best and go with it. Doesn't matter if they're heroes, if Supers were in the general population they'd still eventually be in charge, or respected, in some manner or other. [/QUOTE]
