[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8229631, member: 19675"] (Emphasis mine) I can appreciate that. But I can also see a comic book universe in which the logical, probable consequences of superheroic powers and super-science WAS able to affect things like global hunger or things like cancer. It just wouldn’t work for established settings like the main Marvel or DC universes. Such changes would have HUGE effects in reshaping global human society. I mean, we live in a world where people (rightfully) ask why wealthy people don’t do more for society in general- see the Chloé Kardassian kerfuffle over the GoFundMe she set up for a friend’s $60k surgery. So imagine what kinds of questions would be floating on the internet about beings who can create man-portable power plants that can generate gigawatts of power, plow a field in seconds, bring mineral rich asteroids safely to earth, or create new alloys with astounding properties...but then don’t. Inquiring minds would want to know. So might governments. [/QUOTE]
