Yes this is a PG-censored Superhero AMA. You in or what?

[Oh look, it's All Might! Standing eagerly in front of a chalk board, a comically small piece of chalk between two fingers on a big Manly(TM) hand.]

Hahaha! Good morning, Riverview! Enjoy your coffee, and ask away, for I am here!

Per the request of some of the lovely children of Riverview Elementary, I'm taking questions regarding the life of a trained professional hero!

[... And if you try to curse or be a dirty birdy....

Any curse word or sexual wording will be changed into silly, innocent replacements, or even ALL MIGHT in bold colorful letters. What the ??]

Wait, really?

Everyone has powers?

[almightiness]

Nearly all, indeed. Only two out of every ten people are quirkless.

A normal thing to me, but I suppose to most it's hard to picture...!

[supersweet]

Yeah, that's kind of hard to picture.

[ That's not entirely true. Jor-El had shown Jon briefly what kind of world that would look like. ]

Sooo. What if you have powers and do nothing? Is that normal too?

[almightiness]

Oh, yes! There are plenty of people with powers who are just everyday individuals! Using one's powers is prohibited in general public for safety concerns, though as long as you're not causing trouble, it's not usually so intensely enforced. After all, one's powers is an important part of their identity!

It's merely important to make sure there's a balance, to avoid the chaos of the past.

[supersweet]

The past?

So something happened before?

[almightiness]

Certainly, something did, dear boy. With that many powers happening all at once... well, it wasn't always a pretty place to live. Villains were cropping up more and more without enough resistance from our end; once a balance was set, crime dipped, and society became more stable.

[supersweet]

[ Jon nods. This makes perfect sense. ]

I wish I could go to a school like that though.

[almightiness]

Ah, I'm sure there's something that could be done here...

At the very least, I wouldn't mind helping you hone your skills, if you need it! Or perhaps a group can be formed for the youth like yourself with extraordinary superhuman abilities.

[supersweet]

[ Jon looks skeptical. ]

I don't think we have enough kids to form a mini Justice League.

[almightiness]

Ah — a mini 'Justice League'?

[Sounds unfamiliar...! And yet, the kid seems to be talking about something hero-specific!]

[supersweet]

Yeah. It's a league of superpowered people who help defend the Earth, etc.

[almightiness]

Oh, wonderful!!

It sounds like exactly what a world needs, even. I must know more about this league — how does joining it work? Is there some sort of test, or is it simply word of mouth and experience?

[supersweet]

Uhh. Batman probably does a bunch of tests to see if you're okay.

[ And then you probably have to do more tests. It's Batman, good luck. ]
