      True. She’d be a good option, though she’s not powered, and they’ve spent so little time on her characterization

      Jessica Jones was a good one though. Not really an antihero, but at least a darker super

      Replying to @mssilverstein

      I loved Jessica Jones. Her story was tied to her life, which is what I think I'm getting at. In real life if people had powers plenty of them would use them to just live their lives. Jessica uses her power to survive. She's not an anti-heroine, but she doesn't patrol streets

      I've always wondered what a real-life X-men type situation would look like. Super strength is a cool party trick, but like... when is it useful in real life outside of helping your friends move? Would there be societal pressure not to like, get an office job or be a lawyer?

      It would save a lot of money to just hire someone to do a forklift driver's job without buying the forklift but I'm not sure how useful it is if you only have the one person

      Most people who are extraordinarily physically gifted in our world directly make money from it as athletes Which brings up Dash's whole complaint in The Incredibles that for him to do this is somehow "unfair"

      I mean yeah sure in real life if there were an "X-gene" they'd pretty quickly make rules barring you from competition if you had it It's just that the existence of purely natural "superhumans" demonstrates how arbitrary sports are in the first place

      Cf. the book version of The Princess Bride going into Fezzik's sad traumatic backstory and how as he just keeps growing bigger he "graduates" from "athlete" to the much worse job of "circus freak"

      Which leads to the comic book superhero/villain thing He's not a bad guy at heart but he takes a job with Vizzini because it's his first chance to use his powers for a real job that objectively requires them and not just to entertain a crowd of assholes (That job being crime)

          Like yeah it does seem pretty plausible that the most profitable thing you could do with your abilities as an X-Men "mutant" would be to attack people and steal shit and therefore create jobs for other mutants to stop you doing it

          i mean this is because the space of "useful but unexciting superpowers" is highly underexplored like, my superpower is that i can organize and extract information from large volumes of paper, that's it can i fight crime? well, yes, in the sense that i can detect tax fraud,
