The ugly side of superheroes\nWhat if you suddenly had superpowers? What would you do? How would your friends and family react? What would your obligations to society be?\nThe superheroes\u2019 first missions\u2014 combating terrorists or rescuing disaster victims\u2014 are a boon to France. Yet while these actions bring the country pride, unity quickly starts to unravel. These superheroes, ultimately, are human. Paparazzi are everywhere. One has an affair with another\u2019s wife. Another questions following the government\u2019s imperialist agenda. Meanwhile the public carps on social media.
