So, it seems that today is all about the stuff that cross over to real life. I'm sorry to not comment any further, but I'm a little at a loss of words over this.
This is just awesome :D . I just love the idea of the super-hero/heroine, the person that cannot see what is unjust without doing something about it. This man is a brave one, not to mention he look cool!
Then again, I can't help but to think about weather super-heroes/heroines would really do good to society by fighting crime. As long as we have super-villains, whom fighting against is undoubtedly a just cause, it's ok. But Sauron is difficult to find these days. What about common villains? Thieves, pickpockets... Only a few comic book characters (or authors) of those I know take the time to hestitate about their work, wondering just what is crime, why is it wrong, how else can we help society. Robin Hood was a thief, yet he was a hero.
Then again, there are still people in the world that restrict the freedom of others. A killer cannot be allowed to kill, no matter how well justified his/her cause may be, how much of an emergent of a biological or social condition he/she may be: he/she needs to be stopped, so that he/she does not continue to do restrict the freedom of others. But how can we judge that cause? How can we cure them from their condition? The super-hero/heroine does not seem take that into account.
I agree with the moral dilemma created by Watchmen about the "super powers" of our favorite masked fascists. Good or wrong is always a mess. But thinking about this guy... Didn't Moore made the super hero world a more affordable one?
