    The only upside I see to President Rittson’s misoxenistic (edit: how do you construct the word for ‘fear of extra-terrestrials’? this one seems to mean fear of strangers) response is that I feel like it really primes the stage for a natural progression into a fear of mutants that’ve suddenly started springing up. If you were a normal human and someone close to you seemingly “lost control” and “let their powers slip”, and you’d seen the footage of Skrulls (and maybe some out-of-focus footage of a Super-Skrull), wouldn’t you feel completely justified in indulging your xenophobia?

    In reality, the Skrull letting their powers slip would just be an instance of a young teen manifesting powers they don’t know how to control. Powers manifest in high-stress situations near the onset of puberty, iirc.
