I'm almost positive we had a thread on this, and it got testy.

My question would be, well, how black do you need to be?
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
I know this thread is about a kick starter but to answer the title question genocide would come back in a big way.

Man, this doesn't come out untill September 28th. I got all hyped for nothing. The artwork does look good though.
Guess I'd be "light" on powers.

I feel like something along the lines of the world of Second Son sould happen. They still manage to put them in jail for the safety of the whites oops I mean normal population.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
There is a One Piece joke on the tip of my tongue, but I'm just gonna stroll on because we already thread where most people didn't know it was a "thing."
I'm actually really excited about this project. Between this, Black Panther, and Sam Wilson, I might never sleep again. #ForeverWoke

You know how Tony starts beating down on Cap near the end of Civil War? That would happen in the opening credits. I doubt there would even be much discussion about it either. People would be snatched up within minutes.

Just for sake of discussion, any subset of people with powers will likely be a huge issue for the world as a whole. Everyone's human, so there will be people abusing it for their gain just so they can. If someone nasty had the power to exert their prejudices, they probably will. If you give any group of people superpowers, I don't expect them to be more virtuous than the other.
Regulation would be a huge issue at will for some crazy powers. If some baby had the powers to blow things up, normal people can't keep that in check. How would a mother be able to handle a ticking time bomb for example and not having something happen at childbirth. If a teacher was unaware, how would they reel in a troublemaker who has potential to harm their peers on a whim.
Back to the topic, this sounds cool, I need to remind myself to check it out.

What a terrible shitpost.
Whoops.
EDIT: I hope this does some really interesting situations. Like what if The Nation of Islam had access to these powers? Would Aboriginals also get these powers?
There soooooo much to play with here I really hope they don't go down the "follow one set of heroes in the US" route.

Things would be about balanced for a change?

Realistically, the Super Human Registration Act would be introduced in 40 minutes, not 40 years.
