Grab my gun and try to rebalance the population in my favor. I'd get away with it too, if there are no meddling kids who have a talking dog (Scooby Doo and his humans are my only weakness).

Get on with life. Try not to get involved. I believe war would happen.

What stopping you from becoming Batman today?
Just challenging you a bit, because a lot of people seem to think the world turned into a comicbook world. But other than 50% of all humans suddenly being mutants the world is identical to how it is today.

The day before this happened there would still be problems in the middle-east, people preaching for and against Global Warming...

Then the next day people have powers...
The coolness factor (I'd want to be a badass normal), plus the masses of funds I would need to pull it off.

Exactly, so how would you be Batman tomorrow, when half of the world became Mutants?

I just find it so interesting that a lot of people think we would become the DC/Marvel worlds. I personally do not think that would happen.

I also chose the number 50% for a reason, because that way neither humans or mutants would be the majority.
Which means it would be hard for a government to "ban mutants" since half of, lets say, congress is actually mutants now.

PS: No plasmids, super power juice, radio active spiders doesn't exist in hte real world, but "tomorrow" mutants will

Wait for the inevitable war between super-villians and super-heroes to calm down, and attempt to gain superpowers, Iron Man-style.

The masses of funds is really for only pulling it off well, as people with probably less have done so http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/106675-Real-Life-Superhero-Thwarts-Robbery-Gains-TV-Fame
Plus I'd also be showing the non-mutants that we don't have to sit idly by and let them do something about it.

How about: keeep doing your job. Superpowers in comic books don't generally help with administration, organising, bookkeeping, carpenting and a whole bunch of ordinary stuff.

Just don't bother trying to compete as a professional athlete.

Figure out the general overarching weakness (which seems likely if the powers all stem from one source) and collect a shit ton of it and weaponize it, just so I don't have to worry about them being a problem. Failing that get a shit ton of high powered weaponry and prepare for the mutie/normal civil war that's certainly coming.

I'd find a couple that had powers and befreind them, I get enough shit from people without having to deal with superpowered chavs by myself.
If they wouldn't be my freinds I'd brainwash them.

The world at large would likley go insane, people are mostly arseholes by nature so I expect there'd be a lot of super powered criminals that just couldn't resist taking the easy way.

Here's hoping there are enough decent people to round them up.

I'd 'do a Bruce Wayne' and refuse to be branded as different just because I don't technically have a superpower.

I'd probably become a superhero myself, like equivalent of the punisher or batman, one of the ones without powers, but are still just as awesome.
