seems czechia si the only place that noses out our numbers on the streets. Crazy to see that number for iceland given its climate. Really the green bar length is a good thing given it shows how much a society it trying to deal with the issue.

I mean depending on how broadly you look at it its a common thing. In marvel the inhumans and the eternals are races created by extraterrestrial entities and I believe mutation may have an origin like that. Then you have things like wolverine having admamantine bonded to his bones. Mister fantastic making unstable molecules which most heroes use for their costumes so their powers don't destroy them. This was the origin of the symbiote as spiderman used regular cloth and his costume was getting torn up on the battle planet and the beyonder provided the symbiote as a fix. The symbiote then enhanced his powers. several other tech heroes like stark and pym have provided tech to enhance other heroes although I don't recall specific instances outside of the spiderman movie but I know it has happened relatively often. Thors powers are enhanced by his hammer and he has had other things come up over time. There is a sorta common thing were a hero loses their power and some technology takes its place. Doctor strange has innate magical ability but also artificats some of which he uses all the time and some temporarily and sometimes he loses access to his usual items.
sorry this was sarcasm tilted toward my more progressive american brethen or older ones. There was a big thing about gaps in the eighties and there is a simpsons episode that makes fun of it with these songs the piano player plays at the point they are at the capitol called cesspool on the potomac. Unfortunately I cannot find the relevant clip. So it was literally like politicians saying we can't abide an X gap where X was size of the military, deficit, some random technology considered important, etc. Usually in terms of military capability.
I upvoted but also had to comment as it so captures how I feel. There are many of us but not many enough apparently.
