"We're not oppressed." To say nothing of the shame Marc might feel about his condition. Steven is plenty oppressed in the real world but it's only because he's too nerdy and needy. "We're not-- superheroes. Not like you." They're just crazy. And sometimes see this Egyptian God that gives them nifty suits.
