Found this while codediving. My trust level isn’t high enough to post pics here so I’ll just use blockquote. I found this after waking up from Thaumaturge’s attack.

Derek leans forward, as if curious about something.

L Flit fan, I’m a proud PARENTS supporter
I was 50/50 torn between Flit and Ghostling….but I had to go with my RO 
Didn’t expect the poll to be so conclusive but glad others are on the same wavelength. Lily best girl no argument.
Good sir how do we become mayor of vera city. Nvm read your later reply , sorry to bother you.
Flit’s ideology literally doesn’t make sense. They believe that, since people have superpowers, they should naturally become superheroes. If one had to go with such logic, it would be like rounding up everyone who owns a gun and force them into becoming cops. While you’re at it, round up all sighted people and force them into subscribing to Be My Eyes. It’s just downright silly.
I think their ideology is more “if you have superpower, use it reasonably”
They admitted to being angry at Lb for leaving the team to focus on his music, even though Lb promised to always be around.
Guns can’t level a city block and spawn in the hands of random children or teenagers.
They can still kill though. I’m not anti gun mind you, but just saying. If you have a lot of things that needs to be used responsibly, why single out one of them so badly? People in general have a lot to use responsibly, like knives and forks, cars, bikes and whatnot.
This is what I dub the Butcher Argument, or Tony’s law for marvel nerds. Superpowers are a biological lottery that inherently put you above the majority of individuals outside other supes. While their are weak or useless powers like being 1.5x stronger then the average teenage girl or being able to see every banana in a 5 mile radius most superpowers aren’t, most superpowers are the stuff that gets you classified as a living weapon, a war winning weapon, an individual of mass destruction, make you special, and with that specialness comes hubris. If a super isn’t using their powers to protect the weak non supers they will most likely end up using it for their own gain which comes at the expense of non supes especially when it comes to powerful supes or “Individuals of mass destruction”
Flit don’t like that LB decided to leave the team, they have no issue with metahumans like Red Harry pursuing other careers
Even having something like super vision or see through vision leaves you open to crime, staring at people through their clothes, stalking, detecting security features, noticing people’s private stuff hidden underneath clothing and spreading rumours
I get learning to use one’s powers responsibly but to say that they are obligated to take up a profession robs them of their agency. If they aren’t doing anything illegal or unethical with their powers there shouldn’t be any policing. It’s something that robs them of their liberties simply for something they were born with.
Yup, pretty much like I can try to stab my fellow man with equipment that I’m supposed to eat with.
It really depends man, if enough of a population of heroes exist and law enforcement is armed to handle basic supe activity sure they can be allowed to go free without registering themselves, but what about if they aren’t. He’ll look at what Blair did with a few days of using their powers, vaporised a hoverhawk and can lay hands on a trained sidekick (unless you use super speed) Law enforcement are practically useless in most media against supers and heroes seem to die in droves to big dog villains or are busy being government lap dogs. Imagine you need saving from a guy with super Strength and durablility but your local hero is dead or busy in some other county cause their hero’s preoccupied
I think it’s easy for them to be all righteous when their power is only teleportation. Our MCU is borderline OP when you can literally control time or become the avatar it’s easy to go “overboard”. I tend my character to sometimes go overboard, because that type of power would be at least a little bit addicting
Relatable, I love picking elemental and just playing as slightly less evil Azula
I think a better solution to that would be to create public training programs to teach metas how to control and use their power responsibly while also giving them a choice on what to do with their lives. Superheroes are already glamorized by the press so it wouldn’t take much to popularize the profession. Kinda like incorporating metas in law enforcement by providing incentives to do so rather than relying solely on superhero teams like the Omega Responders. The problem with making them obligated to become superheroes is that it dehumanizes them. It treats them as if they are weapons of the state rather than a human being with rights and liberties. PARENTS mentions having programs like this but given their reputation it’s possible that it isn’t as voluntary as Lorelei claims it is and there’s no guarantee that human rights are being violated in their program.
I have a problem with this statement. How would we know? How do you know that the superheroes and villians, who are relatively rare given the size of the population, are the majority of superpowers? If your superpower is to hear doormice pissing at midnight, who exactly are you going to advertise that to? If you tell someone, will they get you tested for superpowers, or for mental illness? Will you yourself even notice? You can’t assume that because all of the playable characters and their team are very powerful (and because all of the Dozer takers are synthetically powerful) that the majority of people with superpowers are. What if most powers are so low-grade and useless that they present more like ADHD or OCD than anything else? What if they mostly would make people ineligible for sports competitions? What if they only cause someone to have to take tests in empty classrooms because within 16 inches they can read an unprotected mind? You’re not at the level of…well, levelling cities. And what about the truly useless powers like “can change the colour of wool?” What kind of danger does that person present? The argument, much like Flit’s has and leaves no room for nuance.
This is kind of the equivalent of saying that because a small percentage of worldwide law enforcement works for a govenrment agency, they all work for Interpol. Yes, it looks like superheroes die off in massive numbers, but that’s because those are the people we see and are paying attention to. Someone who’s superpower is that a pencil in their hand never goes dull is not going to be among those heroes, just like someone who occasionally volunteers to chaperone a school dance is not going to join the SWAT team.
man I really like when the story makes people have these kinds of debates.
