If someone wanted to they could dawn a a suit and try to fight crime?Would they be succesfull if they new what they were doing? Would his actions be noticed my the news and media or would this particular person be looked down upon? Would this inspire more people to try to do the samething?Will this lead to a mass quantity of civilian deaths?

Well for a superhero to be successful he needs to have some sort of edge over the criminals and villains... Hard to do when we are all human

There's actually one guy that dresses in a gold and black outfit in this one city, I forgot the details, there's probably a vid of him on Youtube.

Bruce Lee was the last known Super Hero. But if someone wants to pretend to be Batman go ahead. I like how Superman movies stay far away from realistic problems like terrorism, and just give him a handful of villians that can actually be stopped.

There are easier ways to commit suicide... besides, even if you live, you'd have lost your dignity. :)

I would hope that they are institutionalized at a mental facility.

Maybe if he was trained well enough in martial arts, and had the right technology and intelligence, he could pull something off. Probably wouldn't last very long though...

They'd get busted by corrupt cops, probably.

You'll either get yourself killed pretty quickly. Get arrested or thrown in a mental facility for the mentally disturbed and deranged. Or you become successful in fighting crime, but the police or the military will not like this because the public will wonder what the hell their tax dollars get spent on when the justice system cant do what 1 man can do.

Phoenix Jones, that's it

I can't say this guy is doing something wrong, actually he's doing something good. You must have a lot of guts to fight crime without guns dressed like cartoon character.

Watch out there's Mickey Mouse, Ruuuuun

If they're lucky...

As opposed to getting caught by criminals? I was thinking about this, and I think if some Frank Castle type really dedicated himself to f***ing with crooks, they'd have a hard time catching him. If he lived as a John Doe by choice, didn't hang out anywhere, had no permanent residence... It'd be tricky for anyone other than the government to catch him.

I imagine the guy would either get killed really quick or caught by the policce unless they were really good at concealing their identities.
