So. [He was still not even close to settled yet, but oh well.] If I say Avengers, you say?

For a long time our world existed without any superheroes. There were a few powered people but not in the public.

It's only the past six years or so we became front and center.

[spoileralert]

six years? jesus. superheroes helped fight in world war 2. batman's been around about as long as I've been alive

[notsoangry]

We did have Cap in World War 2, and then some of us showed up here and there, but nothing resembling a team or an active superhero until Tony.

[spoileralert]

that's wild. I literally grew up watching Superman on the tv

[notsoangry]

There was a theory that the rise of superheroes in our world also led to the rise of supervillains. A balance that only existed if one was stronger than the other.

[spoileralert]

that's crap. there have always been bad people, and they've always looked for new ways to be bad. if they don't have powers they just make new weapons.

[notsoangry]

I agree, the supervillains didn't create crime. The Avengers mostly only get involved when it's a huge threat, not the day to day crime.

[spoileralert]

and there's only a Batman because the cops in Gotham are all either incompetent or on the take

[scathefires]

that description gives gotham cops too much credit

also fuck batman

that pointy eared asshole

[spoileralert]

should I add that CPS is also a waste of space?

[scathefires]

lets be real

any real or imagined authority figure in gotham is 100% useless and therefore 200% pointless

[notsoangry]

That's [what] unfortunate. Our police are far from perfect, but not really like that.

[spoileralert]

gotham is a very special kind of awful :)

[notsoangry]

It sounds like it. And you're a superhero there?

[spoileralert]

what? no. why would you ask that?

[notsoangry]

Oh, sorry. You keep talking about it like you know it personally.

[spoileralert]

middle school was 50% superhero gossip, if you count discussions of what your superhero name would be. if not, 40%

[notsoangry]

That makes sense, I know kids talk a lot about it these days too, ever since aliens attacked New York.

[spoileralert]

nothing like an alien invasion to get people excited

[notsoangry]

It wasn't exactly the way I hoped we'd meet extraterrestrial life.

[spoileralert]

like they haven't probably been there for decades already

[notsoangry]

Many centuries, actually. My friend Thor I think is over a thousand? I never asked his exact age, but it's up there. He's an Asgardian.

[spoileralert]

you mean the norse god of thunder and partying? if anyone was gonna hang out on earth I can see why it would be him

[notsoangry]

Yep, that's him. He's as great as you'd think, honestly. His siblings aren't great, but he is.

[spoileralert]

as great as I'd think? weren't vikings kinda short with bad teeth?
