I mention this even though I am not a Christian. But neither are Trumpists who side with the killer. They claim Christian piety, falsely.

The other supers get wind of this, and they don’t like it one little bit. Only they, the aristocrats, deserve those powers. That drives the story’s conflict. Biff! Bam! Pow! After setbacks and plot twists, the People win. But the most villainous of the superheros, while being dragged off to super-jail, warn them that their troubles are only just beginning. Part 2, “Superpower of the Law”. A policier. Society has technically integrated superpowers into everyday life. The people fly to work, build by telekine...
