Superpowered Minors, Part One
8th January 2011
One topic that we’ve been asked about by several people is the issue of superpowered minors, whether acting as superheroes or supervillains. There are many examples, such as the Teen Titans, young mutants like Kitty Pryde, and Spider-Man (in his younger days). This post, the first in a series, is about the minors themselves and their criminal liability. Future posts will cover torts and contracts. The legal issues involving their parents, guardians (like Bruce Wayne), and school teachers (like Professor X) will also be addressed in future installments.
