Bit of a kick in the privates, here.  .  .
 

As did I.  For once, I was quick on the uptake. 

You have to remember, most Dark Champions characters operate outside the law, especially if they're likely to use deadly force against their enemies.  Stealing from them to finance their operations would not be that big a deal to those "heroes"--after all, what's grand theft auto compared to murder, battery with a deadly weapon, and destruction of private property?

I'd rather have this as my spirit animal:
 

Here's the other favorite hangout of Pulp RPG characters--the bar.

I deal with questions of mutant detection technology by having it not exist. Even the existence of "mutant power genes" was debated in science until some aliens who are really good at genetics confirmed their existence (and would you mind if we enslaved you so we can exploit them? We promise you'll still get a higher standard of living, so rationally it's a good deal...) Mutant power genes still require slow, finicky lab tests to identify. Very often, saying someone has "mutant powers" really means, "We don't know why they have powers."
 
But then, I also don't do the whole "anti-mutant prejudice" thing in my campaign, either. Most people think being a mutant is the ultimate in dumb luck. (Not so much for the occasional defective mutants, such as the guy who gets super-strong muscles but not super-strong bones, or the pyrokinetic who isn't immune to fire. But there are now treatments for Obstructed Mutation Syndrome, from biotech captured from the aforementioned aliens.)
 
I don't feel obligated to copy Marvel in everything.

Back in the old Soviet Union, if you wanted a car you would have to order it several years in advance and pay cash up front. 
 
So having gathered his money for a long time, a man goes in one day to buy a car. He puts the money down and the clerk says, "Very good comrade. You will receive your car 5 years from today.'
 
The man asks, "In the morning or the afternoon?" 
 
The clerk says, "It's 5 years from today what difference does it make?"
 
The man says, "Well, the plumber is coming in the morning."

Second grader tries to organize classmates to adopt a horse as class pet.  (Longish tiktok video but you have to watch till the end.)

Gordon Lightfoot certainly did not need that song for his career. And he brought it to the families of the drowned sailors before he released it to ask for their approval. They all considered it a fitting tribute.
 
Detroit's Maritime Church rings its bell every year on the anniversary of the wreck, once for each sailor lost. Last year they added an extra stroke of the bell for Gordon Lightfoot after his passing.
