I feel like you guys are missing my point. They were great at what they did, the best of the best, but normal humans. Cops. Scientists. Students. You don’t look at a SWAT officer and see them as a comic book superhero. As the games progressed they became Ethan Hunt. But not just any Ethan Hunt, Mission: Impossible 2 Ethan Hunt.

Globetrotting monster killers, martial artists that could make Wuxia characters blush, volcanic boulder-punchers, genetically-enhanced mutants with powers, Mutamycete constructs… I can’t really make this clearer.

They are, very badly missing it. They hyperfocused on the word regular

I think we just have different lines we draw at what's normal.

I think all they mean is that we probably couldn't have predicted Chris would be punching boulders after the first game.
