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.

No weapons or powers either, I'm guessing? Or will this be a free-for-all, no magic only? I'd join either way, I just need to know what gear I'll be bringing.

No weapons, no powers, just what you have to work with physically. [ His smile quirks. ] You sound confidant, all the same.

Sounds like Yordle Wall. D'you get extra points for knocking peoples teeth out in Bifrost too?

I like a challenge. [She is confident.] Could be fun, going up against people with superhuman strength. At the very least I'll learn a few things.

What's an Asgardian?

Asgardians make up the Aesir, a pantheon of gods to which I belong. Not very important in this respect except for their wonderful strength. I expect I shall be on the opposing team to my sister, once I drag her into this.

I'm bringing plasters and ice-bags for cuts and bruises, people's teeth are their own business.

[An eyebrow raise.]

You don't look like much, for a god. [Ouch, Aloy. But she doesn't say it as an insult, just as an observation. Maybe he's superhuman, she doesn't doubt that, but god is hard to swallow, for someone whose experience with religion has been...less than stellar.]

So, let me see if I've got this right. One team starts out smaller than the other, and has to add to its numbers by, what, tagging the other team's members before they can run past? Is there a limit to how many rounds they can go before you have to declare one team or the other the winners?

That's ... incredibly rude. But, okay. Fair.

[ BIG OOF. ]

First team starts off as three, their numbers increase as they capture the invaders across the Bifrost, yes. The round is over when all invaders are caught by guardians.

This sounds fun. I'll participate.

[old god vs. asgardian - FIGHT]

A bunch of overpowered, competitive, frustrated metahumans with an excuse to pummel each other into the ground? Yes what could possibly go wrong.

I will gladly watch you all break each other from the sidelines. I’m too pretty to damage.
