Just remember, the rules are simple, the laws of physics and medicine apply. There are no mutant powers, radiation will kill you painfully rather than give a person fantastic powers. "Super Soldier Drugs" are most likely methamphetamines with steroids, mixed with cocaine. Also rich playboy billionaires will more likely bribe judges and elected to get justice, rather than put themselves in actual physical danger.

Am I going too far? Just tell me.
