Fighting Back

My costume would be made of black Kevlar.  Just because you never know what will happen on patrol.  But I most likely won’t have any identifying marks on my costume and I will definitely be wearing a mask because I’m from a small town and if I were to fight crime there then I would need to keep my identity a secret.  The only problem about wearing Kevlar is that it’s a little expensive so I’d probably end up just wearing all black, but ideally it would be Kevlar. 

Since my town is small there aren’t really any gang related problems.  If I were to fight crime I would probably have to go to St. Louis in order to make an actual impact on society.  There are more people to help there.  I would probably end up giving help to the homeless, raising awareness about criminals, and do a little patrolling on my own.  The problem in St. Louis is mostly crime.  East St. Louis is extremely bad and I wouldn’t be patrolling on my own either.  It’s always good to have someone watching your back especially when your main problem is crime.  Doing vigil ante justice work without a partner is a little silly, especially when you don’t have any superpowers.

The hero that keeps creeping up in my mind is Life.  He isn’t trying to recruit people; he’s just doing what he thinks is right, what any other person would do.  Life is also not bulstering his own ego by taking down “bad guys,” he’s honestly just trying to do what good he can and that is really what a superhero is isn’t it?  Isn’t a superhero someone who does good, not because it’s expected of him/her, but because it’s the right thing to do?
