Should I live out my dream and become a superhero?

Answer 1

If you can walk through walls & plan to knock off a bank, let me know.

Answer 2

Sure, why not? So long as you don't have a wife, kids, or other dependent family members who might be targeted by your enemies, I don't see why not.

Just be advised....if you do this, you have to do it right. Either have super-powers already (it can happen but in my humble experience [1] it can be a sorely mixed blessing, as much of a curse as a gift), have a plan to get some [2], or have enough time and money set aside to train yourself up (and STAY trained!) up to a Batman-level of ability.

Really. Don't screw this up or you will wind up in a psychiatric ward or a prison cell being a Walking Talking Condom for Bubba with a severe case of quickness. Do your homework in terms of what your rights and duties are as someone making Citizen's Arrest. Find out where your limits are in terms of intervention--where the line is between saving the day and having assault charges held against you.

Find out what your niche is....for all you know it might be close enough to that of a mundane bail enforcer, repossessor, paramedic or fire-rescue person that you can actually *get into* that line of work and still fit in and NOT go over the edge into Happy Spandex Land. Really, there are still some few ways to be a hero in society without needing to deal with the humiliation of the cape and tights.

And speaking of which. Dot your i's and cross your t's on all the details of your transhuman identity, ok? Make sure your name and visual design aren't already copyrighted, or that if they are that the copyright holders are *cool with* you representing their trademark. Meaning that you don't do anything to dilute said trademark or piss off your "idea sponsors".

And of course, stick to some common sense here. The underwear goes on *under* your tights. Get some bullet-proofing if you don't already have it. Make sure you *ARE* in good enough physical condition to wear the tights--spandex is a privilege and not a right. Rock the primary colors ONLY if you can deal with people laughing at you, and little kids dressing up AS you on Hallowe'en....most folks would be better served with a more muted or subdued or professional looking color palette. Something more like a grown-up *uniform* and less like a little kid's or teenagers costume.

And, like the Boy Scouts say....Be Prepared. Learning how to fight crime literally--the whoopass--isn't enough. Learning some detective work, some forensic science is a must if you wish to *keep* your villains behind bars, duh. Knowing some CPR and First Aid is a must, if not full-blown paramedic training....learn to swim. Learn to climb, rappel, and parachute if need be. Make sure you have backup, a cell phone, perhaps a non-lethal weapon....prefer a *Helmet* to a mere mask, just because that gives you a chance to add a layer of Kevlar between bullets and your skull. Really, that is one real-world deterrent to being the Hero right there, just the sheer *gun-happy* nature of our society....

But yeah, if you are ready, willing and able to give this endeavor 200% effort, meaning all your time, resources and everything....maybe you'll make it. Maybe. We could always use a Hero to step up, especially these days.

Just be advised, EVERY authority figure currently in charge on the planet will label you a criminal, a terrorist, and try to have you shot at each and every opportunity, because anyone who rebels against the Rich Man, the Politicians they Own, or the Religious Fanatics, is declared the Enemy of the State at *least* in the eyes of the Mass Media. Really....think twice about that Secret Identity thing. Forensics are too good and the Media is too hostile. You are better off going Public and getting yourself Legally Deputized at minimum, which in turn limits what you can do, but it also keeps you from getting shot right away.

If you are up to all this....welcome aboard and good luck to you!
