There are super heroes out there but they don’t wear a cape and can’t fly.
There are people with extraordinary talents that fight against humanity’s worst villains.
You may not read about their accomplishments in a newspaper or see them plastered on the news.
These talented people prefer to do their work in silence and are very humble with their accomplishments.
Don’t you think they would have done something obvious by now?
If masked vigilante crime-fighters count, I have a true story that might give you faith that there are superheroes out there.
This is before COVID.
There were a lot of homeless people in Manchester City Centre. There still is, but before COVID, it was more pronounced.
There was a homeless guy who used to sit in front of the building where I worked. On my way out of work, I used to grab him a cup of coffee and chat with him for a few minutes before heading off for my tram.
One Monday as I approached him I notice that snaking out from under his hat is quite a deep and angry-looking cut that had been stitched.
I asked him about it and he said some guy had come walking down the road attacking homeless people with a broken bottle. They’d all been taken to hospital, patched up and given antibiotics, but everyone was really scared now.
A couple of days later, he mentioned that the police have found the guy who did it. And ‘found’ is the correct word - the guy was lying by the side of the canal beaten to a bloody pulp. Apparently he’d been attacked by someone dressed all in black wearing a black mask.
So, I know for a fact that there is at least one person willing to put on a costume in the height of summer and beat up villains - I imagine there are many more.
No. There are plenty of religious people in their 30s
Uhh, do you still believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy?
What do you mean?
You, too, can be a superhero when a dictator arrives at your operating table… 😏
actually exsist?
Was that “actually sexist” before the messing up?

Vigilantes are psychopaths.
