A decent Union Dues story, showing the conflict between humans and supers.
But this one's my least favorite of the bunch. I liked it while I was listening to it, but someone's comments on the blog post swayed me in the other direction. The guy's supposed superpower of strategy seems to be rather atrophied here. The person who commented on the blog had a psychology background and knew better how to help diffuse this situation than the hero did. Presumably any strategy super would have extensive psychology training as well as the intuition to reach some sort of resolution without violence. Sure, I didn't think of any better methods, but I'm not super.
The resolution suggested there was to single people out of the crowd to get them to help you. Instead of yelling "Somebody help me," single out an individual "Hey, you in the blue shirt, give me a hand." And if that person doesn't respond, then single out another individual until someone helps you. That made perfect sense to me, by separating out the individuals you can shock someone out of "Someone else'll do it" paralysis and can actually get some action done. This made such perfect sense that any belief in the character's ability to strategize was forever shattered.
