How weird?

I know at least one person who's from a world where they think chopping heads off is an acceptable form of justice, bagels don't exist for him. [He thinks. Listen, it's an educated guess based off of what little Foggy has gathered of Westeros.] I'm just saying, there's a correlation between the non-existence of bagels and other breakfast foods and the shittiness of some realities.

Basically about as weird as this one, re: superpowers. Just less cross-dimensional kidnapping, usually.

Even without the decapitation, any world without bagels isn't one I'd want to spend time in anyway.

[cigarbribery]

Ours is slightly less weird. I mean, there's the Incident and the Avengers, plus a few vigilantes popping out of the woodwork, but otherwise? Same.

I'm not my own personal fog machine back home, though. What did you get here?

Exactly. It's linked, I'm telling you. If a reality doesn't have bagels, it's bound to be a dystopian hellscape with heads rolling everyday.

We've got the Justice League and it's various offshoots back home—though I hear that's started up here, as well. But almost every major city has its own superhero... and the villains that come with it.

[ Hmm, is the "I used to be a Rogue" pre-second date talk, or post? Probably post, right? Right. ]

Well, you already knew about the rat thing, and that's pretty much it.

Avengers, Justice League—what are they gonna come up with next? Revengers? Superfriends?

Definitely not how it works where I'm from. Most of the superheroes I can name are based out of New York, though Captain America was in DC for a while before SHIELD went belly-up. I don't know about villains, they don't seem that common, and the ones I know about are in jail.

[Wilson Fisk absolutely counts as a comic-book supervillain, in Foggy's opinion.]

You can talk to rats, and I can generate fog. I feel like we should lodge a complaint or something.

[socialactivillain]

A lot are in jail in my world, too, but the thing about locking up people with superpowers
(or who are smart enough to make things comparable to superpowers)
they don't tend to stay locked up.

[ Easily half the people Piper knows have done at least some time, himself included. ]

Should we lodge a complaint, or volunteer our services for a local haunted house?

[cigarbribery]

Turns out ordinary jail cells are not great for holding people with superpowers that can help them bust out of jail, who knew.

Now that you're talking about it, I'm kind of surprised we're not overrun with cackling maniacs who want to take over the world or brooding vigilantes right now.

[He's heard some stories, but—surprisingly not as much as he thought there would be. It's weird.]

I won't deny it, that last option sounds a lot more attractive than filing a complaint that's just going to get lost among all the others.
