In real life, if someone got a black hoodie and a mask and decided to “fight crime”, how successful would they be?

    unless they have powers, they will end like luigi, weeks or months. unless you are cognizant enough to hit a different area/person every time.

    • Luigi continued to wear the same, or very similar, clothes long after the shooting. Batman doesn’t wear his costume when off duty. Also Luigi’s phone gave the cops all sorts of evidence. TheHatedOne on Youtube has a video on this.

        None of that came close to bringing him down, though - it was normal clothing and I don’t think anything he did with his phone would have given him away in advance of being captured.

        The thing that really did it was his distinctive eyebrows being all over the news. A bit of basic disguise work would be smart if you want to do that kind of thing and get away with it. And probably don’t target a random health insurance bureaucrat.
