Reflection 8

My superhero costume would be designed to probably look a lot like Rorschach's costume from the graphic novel Watchmen.  I would probably where a trench coat, a pair of gloves that I use to ride my motorcycle, steel toed boots, probably just a regular pair of jeans, and probably a ski mask.  If I could get a hold of them, I would also carry brass knuckles around with me.  I think that I would wear the mask because, like any other superhero, I'd like to keep my identity hidden.
I would have to say the front of my attack would have to be on drugs.  Although Galesburg doesn't have that big of an issue with drugs, they are still a problem.  I would say that my superhero identity would start out by finding the biggest player in town and cut him down in front of his group to send out a warning.
If my character was to relate to any of the heroes from the film it would have to be Dark Guardian.  Dark Guardian patrols the streets looking for Drug Dealers and has been successful in chasing them off Washington Square Park.  If there is anything to learn from Dark Guardian its that being a real life superhero can be achieved if you go about it the right way.

  1. I think drugs are also a big problem in the United States. They have become abused heavily and someone needs to stop it. I like that you would pick a costume like Rorshach's. It's very different and really kicks in the fear factor.

  2. Rorschach's costume is a great costume because its simple and it strikes fear to anyone who knows them. Dark Guardian is my personal favorite as well because he actually knows what he's doing and loves helping other people.
