Things make sense. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Not only do the "Supes" have powers, they also have the media behind them. Supes, are big business! Advertising, movies, products.

This mirrors my own experience and observations in life. I live in Syracuse Ny. Where everybody in the antiques business knew an auctioneer was wasn't paying consignors for years! But he was spending a lot of advertising money. So you never heard a peep out of TV, radio or the Newspaper. Instead he was constantly proclaimed as honest, integrity, the best one to deal with. When he ran out of money, suddenly he was vilified by all three! The same thing happened with a Mall, and a Mayor, and a big car dealership. Most people knew they were crooks, somehow the news sources were play three blind mice as long as the checks cleared. And that's just in my small community.

This kind getting away with things because the money is good happens all over. Not only getting away with it, but having it reversed on the victims, it was somehow their fault. Like in the very first episode.

But enough preaching about not believing things like these guys must be the best lawyers to hire because they're on TV the most. (it actually means they're looking to settle your case five minutes after you hire them with the least amount of work)

The dialogue is probably the best on TV right now. They define what motivates each character. They writing is superb.

This IS what would happen if 250 super powered beings were running around with nothing to check their activities and hold them accountable. Very few would really be heroes. Actually out helping and saving people.
