Document Summary
Mr. extreme man does this superhero thing to protest things that are wrong with society. A call to personal initiative for everyone . Brutal death of women outside an apartment complex in ny, nobody helped. They take the stance that if superheroes are real, not crazier than any of us. They don"t have proper training, don"t have the training to protect people"s constitutional rights, don"t have protocols, it"s very unregulated and there"s no system that ensures how they behave in a systematic way. Similarities: both wear uniforms and gives them something to identify as. When they see police, they think trained professional, when people see costumes that"s exactly what they see: a costume. Lucio: used to be a criminal turned superhero. Real life superhero: experienced adversity that they turned into this good experience. Mask allows alter ego to come out more easily. We"re the ones that are civil minded = superhero defending their strangeness.
