Have enough money to solve almost any social issue, but put on a weird black latex suit and beat up the mentally unstable at night instead.(feddit.de)

That’s always the issue with super heroes. All these people with these crazy abilities and powers and the only thing we can think to do with them is beating up petty criminals.

Like that’s really what the world needs: tougher cops with no oversight.

Except that actual super villains exist in their universes.

What’s the difference between the super villains in their universe and the ones in ours? Mass shooters, serial killers, billionaires who own sweat shops, leaders of drug cartels, Jeffery Epstein, corrupt cops, corrupt judges, Putin, all the soldiers commiting war crimes and those who lead them who are either ok with it, or instructing then to do so… we’ve got super villains

OP said all they do is beating up petty criminals, which is simply not true.

I don’t know why you question me about the difference between their universes supervillains, and what you define as supervillains in our world.

And wouldn’t it be nice if we had some morally upstanding person in a cape to swoop in and beat the absolute fuck out of them?

Doesn’t change the fact that much of what they do is beat up petty criminals. Hell, that’s usually their goal early on, before super villains get introduced.
