Suddenly, Supers!

ok- A thought occurs, what if this happens ever time there is a WW, but since no one had reached the information age in the previous WW's the supers found it easy to 'disappear'

(this would account for some battle field and regular people miracles that are reported in both wars- it's not unreliable source it was a super.)

Maybe those more seasoned sups know what about to come and round up the new kids...

Yeah. The melting pot and more modern salad bowl aren't genetic or racial concepts, they are cultural. The melting pot is a metaphor for cultural assimilation.

Sweet. My brother's DNA test showed some unexpected variety in our genomes. On to make a Patrick M. that can make "his" enemies explode using just "his" mind!

It's also been retconned as part of the reason Reed Richards had the Fantastic Four present themselves as adventurers and superheroes... he figured that they needed to take control of the narrative before being branded as dangerous freaks themselves, and one way of doing that was to be seen as celebrity adventurers taking care of real problems like the Mole Man.
