The ability to soar through the skies, running faster than a speeding bullet, reading the minds of others— powers only thought of in dreams or works of fiction. They’re always written as a way to beat the villain or make the world a better place, but that probably isn’t how they’d work in the real world. Some will wait an eternity for the world to force them to greatness; others take any opportunities for a chance at it. Would special abilities change any of that? People daydream of absurd powers so they have an excuse not to change their lives. No one needs cold breath to stop a fire or a hood to fix the injustice in the world. Of course, it would be neat to fly around fighting crime and being everyone’s hero, but powers won’t make that happen. Superpowers only amplify the person wielding them. Captain America was already fighting the evils of the world— powers just gave him a stronger punch. People need to stop waiting for a call to action and write their own origin story.
