She-Hulk Episode 3 Raises Important Questions About Superhuman Law
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has been entertaining so far, offering just the right amount of cameos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Superhuman Law Division at GHL&K brought on a superhero to be the face of the team, offering a new insight into criminal cases that involve people with superhuman abilities. This approach has raised some important questions about superhuman law, and how justice can be served in cases involving magical powers.

After her transformation though, she suddenly became a lawyer with superhuman strength and power, and ultimately had a greater responsibility to represent every other individual with powers. But just how does the law apply to heroes in the MCU?
