The problem with both of these is that it depends so much on the people with these powers as being the most special, to the point they're virtually Chosen Ones, that it goes against one of the core principles behind Spider-Man,
that it could be anyone behind that costume.
Additionally, there's an overemphasis on genetics (in the second pitch) being the root cause for powers that it ultimately leads to this weird middleground between
Incredibles and
My Hero Academia, in that you
need to have a
specific set of [any number of select] gene to be special enough to have power to stand above mediocrity? That devalues people who work themselves to death trying to rise above themselves and their station, in addition to all sorts of philosophical and societal implications that depict things as
terrible for the average person.
It's for that reason I was actually a fan of the idea that
all of Marvel's Humanity was special due to circumstances beyond the Celestial's manipulation of ancestral human genetic sequences...even if the
Progenitor did it by accident.
But to cap this off, my asking/proposing about what origins Conduits and Mutants share, if any, was to see how we'd explain the difference between the two to the casual audience with no frame of reference for either side and how that would be worked into the narrative.
I think that's the new voting interface, and it's only like that because it's counting them as two different voting plans.
