How is something with no basis in what the story has shown "absolutely certain"?

Well someone killed all those potentials that had the ability to change the world fundamentally...

I think you're jumping to a lot of conclusions at what is maybe only the halfway point of the issue so far.

Again, maybe hold your horses and see where the story goes? We are on page TWENTY-SEVEN of the current issue while previous ones have ran over fifty and even up to seventy-eight pages. Do you expect story arcs to be over halfway through a movie or book?

Oops, sorry, she did ask him literally one question which he seems not to have answered to her satisfaction and thus full on physical assault is totally justified I guess. What the gently caress.

No she didn't literally ask only one question, but you really don't seem too concerned with what happened in the comic and are on some weird "Won't someone think of the date-rapists!" crusade.

Her first response was to investigate and question the guy which, if you paid attention to the comic, you should have seen!

You keep making it out like she coldly and calmly walked up to the guy without word or provocation and started choking him out, but that's not what happened.

It's because no one on the roof besides Allison thought anything wrong. They probably heard about the hospital incident, but how much of the details do they know? Protesters, firebomb, Allison freaking out at the protesters. They probably figure it's either none of their business or hey, Allison goes to our school and is a friend of a friend, she probably had a good reason to freak out at those protesters.

When Allison confronts the crowd with the fact that there is something wrong AND that hey might be partly responsible in the situation they instead make excuses for Miles/brush off her behavior: Miles is a friend of a friend/Allison has PTSD or something, rather than face their own possible culpability in the situation.

It's the same psychology at play when people don't worry about something until it directly affects them.

That is still such a dumb idea if you think about it for half a second. Yes they would, they'd insist on it just to keep people from freaking out as bad over superhumans. Behold the bright and identifiable costumes that assure you they aren't mingling with the normal folks, the patriotic colors that imply you government has control over them, the acts of violence against the right kind of people to let you know if you keep your nose clean you are safe from them.

Eh. Cape and tights super heroes are a pretty American tradition. I imagine other countries just integrated the ones that actually fought crime into the police or military.

Could be. Although, there is a convenient newly introduced character from the beginning of the issue.

Although the entire point of the comic is that Alison comes to the realization that you can't solve all the world's problems by punching things really hard.

Just punch even harder!
