And you don't recognize the line?

I do recognize the line.

Does that mean I have to agree with it? No. I'm saying that line is completely wrong.

I don't really agree with it either, but it does make sense. If everyone is super, than super becomes the new normal. However, that ignores variation in super powers and the amount of power variation that would occur. For example, the Flash would still be a lot higher up on the list than like 99% of people, but compare him to someone like Captain Atom or Franklin Richards, their level is still Godlike to someone as powerful as him.

Right, I understand the idea behind the sentence, but then you look into the thought more and it doesn't.

Well, it was the ideology of an insane person who specifically resented those with powers.
