Chuck Dixon - 2018
    And the presence of the superhumans known around the city as "specials" hasn't necessarily made life for the average citizen any better, since the local vigilantes are as apt to demand payment for their protection as they are to provide their services for free.

A hero doesn't expect thanks or payment, he helps people because it is the right thing to do. And a hero doesn't kill anyone, ever. All he and the big guy are trying to do is make everyday life better for everyone walking through their streets, living in their city. But even heroes face temptation.
