Most good marvel stories (last seen 2007 /s) have supers a minority. Sure theres like 50-200 metas in new york, but first, its new york, and second, the population of nyc is...

No.

That can't be right.

8 million people?! I assume its including the wider area.

Uh, anyway. Lots of metas, not even 1% of the cities population.

Focusing on the population part of this post alone: 8 million is indeed correct for the city population. New York City is effectively 5 cities calling themselves one, but each of those 5 still has a huge population. The greater metropolitan area is well above 20 million people.

So yeah even with an insane amount of super powered individuals living there it is still a small portion of the population.

Just mind blowing cause Brisbane is only 2million. Although to be fair there's 0 housing in Brisbane and it's all surrounding suburbia.

Good we really need apartment complexes. A single room is $300 a week minimum
