If I didn't know that this was that insufferable idiot Alan Moore, I would have thought it's a mildly amusing stand up comedy routine.

The world he envisions is as banal and boring as his monotone voice. There certainly wouldn't be military applications to somebody who could incinerate something just by looking at it. Oh no, we'll just have that guy soldering plumbing joints as a tradesman.

Remember X2, where Nightcrawler sliced through all of the Secret Service at the White House and almost stabbed the president in about 30 seconds? The fundamental dynamics of power would change when the richest men in the world and the most powerful armies can't stand up against an illiterate preteen from a favela in Brazil.

I think if superpowers were real, the world would be a much more frightening place. How bad would be in direct proportion to the number of people that had them and how much more powerful those gifts made them from normal humans. The one thing it wouldn't be is boring.
