the world if superhero comics began exploring the realistic implications of superpowers on both the individuals day to day life and on society as a whole

#that issue w bart losing his powers for a little got me thinking #but also ive been thinking about it for a while #dude the lore about gotham must be insane like you know how nonfloridians see florida #its that but 100x worse #therapists must be making BANK in superhero universes dude #okay like just looking at it from the lens of the youth and social media and stuff #youd 100% have heroes have their own individual fanbases i honestly think itd kinda resemble how kpop fanbases move #i think there would be a mass migration from typical hard drives to cloud storage considering how often shit gets blown up #which in turn creates more opportunities for data leaks particularly from tech based villains #so just overall a lack of security #oh yeah back on topic #but youd def have kids doing literally anything to emulate their heroes #remember the sharpie bath homestuck cosplay? turn that up to 11 #i swear to god some parents would be sticking their kids in microwaves hoping they get a little hulk of their own #im really glad the young justice show started exploring the real world implications of metahuman shit actually #bc the trafficking and stuff would def be a HUGE issue if more powers started manifesting in that way #and even if the metagene wasnt a thing there would be so much more human experimentation going on & a lot might be govt backed #the body and face standards would be insane too and i think it would make the heroes in question feel really fucked up for inspiring it #like its jokingly mentioned in n52 jl a couple times but ww is pretty universally seen as an ideal woman #which would wreak havoc on young girls self esteem bc thats just how society is and it would crush someone like diana to learn that #man theres just so much more that i wish could be explored #AND ALIENS!!!! DUDE HOLY SHIT ALIENS LIKE THATS A WHOLE BALLPARK ALL ON ITS OWN
