The elephant in the room: when powers meet stereotypes

[CaptainUniverse]

You're most definitely more knowledgeable about Canada than I am. One of the few things I know about it is that how people on the internet say Canadians are almost always polite which is an obvious stereotype.

Or that Canadians only have one road or use square wheels or have flapping heads or wear shirts with the first letter in their name on them! Wait...that's South Park.

Adding with great insight a teenage boy from Forrest Hills, Queens got the powers of Puberty (biceps, Spider-Sense (anxiety), copious amounts of white goop flying everywhere)

I think you missed the joke...

Yeah, I guess so. Sorry.

Yeah, I guess so. Sorry.

Quebec is a strongly French province. And the French are often stereotyped as jerks.

Am Canadian. Can confirm that Quebecers are seen as jerks, and that the rest of Canada treats them like the US treats France.

In the event said teenage boy is revealed to have been an unwitting mutant all along, we will come back to this and have a field day. That said, considering that Marvel's meta-origin for all superpowered people on Earth is that the Celestials' experiments on humanity's ancestors --- or that one dying Celestial puking all over prehistoric Earth --- created mutants, Eternals, and Deviants while enabling even seemingly ordinary humans to acquire superpowers under extraordinary circumstances or exposure to extraordinary elements, there's not so much that really separates or distinguishes mutants from other superpowered people, in-universe prejudices aside.
