at the same time, I think it's an extremely fine line to walk between "dangerous" and just "powerful". And it's tricky because of that. And often, it's more a question of what the author chooses to emphasize than anything else. Take the X-Men, for instance - mutants. We know that mutants are actually dangerous. But in most mutant-as-social-outcast narratives, that part isn't really emphasized; instead, mutants (particularly our protagonists) are presented as powerful and strong. So it's a dissonance that's apparent to us to a greater extent than it maybe actually exists in the narrative.

So, it's probably something to avoid, because it's awkward and potentially creates dissonance. But the idea of associating power and specialness and strength to groups that are coded as social outcasts - I don't think that's a problem in itself.

but in the examples they are very much dangerous and have very much murdered people and that is the part that made people turn against them. in deus ex augmented humans were actually seen as superior to normal humans until you know, they got hacked and started murdering
