Things could be called equalised in this realm, those that arrive without powers are granted them or discover them shortly after arrival, but that's not true. It isn't equal. Nowhere is, really. No newcomer is ever going to be as strong as, say, an Asgardian.

... I propose a match. A game of Bifrost in Central City park at [ insert midday on some weekend ic-ly, ]. Two teams, red and green. A smaller bunch of people are picked to be the Bifrost Guardians and they stand in the middle of the playing field, the other team has to make it across to the other side without being caught, if they do they have to join the Guardians and be absorbed into the other team. That makes it tougher for the remaining folks on their next run to the opposite side. The game ends when everyone is one colour, then everyone swaps roles.

No magic allowed in order to level the playing-field, so to speak, but natural strength is of course going to be a big factor so those with superhuman strength will be divided.

Sign ups here! I am the captain of green. The winning team gets a free brunch together, paid for by me.

Magic has a stigma that makes some people jealous, we are excluding it and allowing natural physical traits instead. That's as fair as we can make it without neutering everyone!

And what if those same "magical" abilities are of the natural variety? There's a significant difference between what I would call sorcery and what the average inhabitant of this world would call magic.

[Probably a few visitors to this world as well, given he had yet to sense anyone else with an affinity for the Force arrive.]

Then I suppose we will discover those nuances of personal ability upon the field where it makes for a more interesting game, won't we?

Sounds reasonable enough. I'd just prefer to avoiding any incessant whining about "fairness" if I can help it.

Oh, we haven't a referee. Worry not!
