Sisyphean Attempts at Self-Improvement

Crowd Control

Another day, another anti-mutant rally. Human supremacists gather to harry and harass everyday mutants; the ones whose mutations don’t result in omega-level powers, but rather ones that just make them a little different from the rest of us.

The goal of de-escalation rarely works with these types. No matter how much Xavier’s students try to practice nonviolence and the peaceful disbursal of angry anarchists, someone always throws the first punch. Or fires the first pew-pew. And it’s a matter of mutant self-defense at that point.


BIFF BAM WHAM POW ZAP
and a SNIKT for good measure
