Re: 2016 confessions & unpopular opinions

Honestly in the real world the last thing I would want is governments or the UN having full control over superheroes, it would be nothing but a bureaucratic nightmare with countries viying for the right to use them and they'd never be able to actually get out and save people. Like superheroes governing themselves isn't foolproof and you have to hope to god you get a Superman(in temperament) on your hands and not a Doomsday, but frankly if you get a Doomsday everyone is fucked anyway and government oversight will mean jack shit.

If superheroes existed in the real world who would be a good authority for them? Assuming it has to be someone who exists in the real world already.

I can't think of any authority figure I'd trust with that.

There's no one I can think of that I'd trust either tbh.

The same person who is in charge of everyone else. The police and district attorneys who would examine their actions in individual circumstance and if necessary prefer charges to a jury. Now I am sure some PDs would try to employ a powered individual under the same sort of contract as any other cop, DA, or prison officer. And there would even be individuals who joined up as they saw it as their civic duty (like Const.Benton Fraser, RCMP) but the important thing is that it would be voluntary.

Would powered criminals voluntarily sit in prison or face a jury? A lot of them, sure. As recent events in the UK have shown, the only thing that keeps prisons riot free or escapes down to a bare minimum is that criminals actually obey the law too, when it catches up to them. A police officer's most powerful weapon of arrest is the phrase "come along and we'll see if we can sort this all out" because even armed criminals who could kill them stone dead are more often than not by a large margin, are prepared to come along and be sorted. By and large criminals are prepared to keep their head down and do their time, even when they could escape.

There would always be a few who would go the nutcase route just as in regular criminals, and even normal criminals hate the nutcases who bought into the Hollywood version of criminality so I don't see that changing, but I think even with superpowers that would be the exception rather than the rule.

You have more faith in the system than I do, or you live in a country where the system is less corrupt.
