    Superheroes are also generally assumed to be unaccountable to the public and beyond any international regulations. They're simply morally better than everyone else and know when to use violence to solve social ills.

    I tend to prefer the X-men as the only superhero team that makes for a compelling narrative. They're defending themselves out of necessity, since the alternatives are being made into weapons of the state or facing genocide. Also not all of the mutants are on the same side, since they're all subject to different conditions. I need to find that one comic I only half remember where I think Rocket Raccoon is talking to a cop and says something like "Don't worry, I'm in the X-men" to which the cop starts pulling out his gun. "I mean the Avengers" Cop puts his gun back.
