So many villains threaten to attack the heroes when they’re most vulnerable yet they never attack when anyone is pooping……

Being deployed with improper training to indiscriminately detain people with different skin complexions & accents by any means necessary & being told they have absolute immunity while doing so is a powder keg waiting to explode. But hey. How much did people save at the grocery store this month?
