Within the world of 'Service' and the city of 'Goodness', there lies the neigborhood of, 'Intention' populated by individuals called, 'Techniques'. While the Techniques may dwell in the same locations and strive to share the same intentions for the greater good in order to serve the community and mankind alike…
…their actions are NOT the same. They are as different as the time of day and yet necessary for each day to exist and come to past.
Heroes are the bright morning that we look forward to, the sunlight on our face, the promise of something better to come, and the clarity from the dreams and nightmares from night of last. Heroes are the brunch, midday snack, and good news for the day. They're the smiles in the park and the waves to your neighbor. They're the flag streaming from the front porch and the hug of a loved one.
Antiheroes make up the sunset and the sunrise. They they are the 'grayzone' between the day that leaves and the night that comes. They're the night passing into the new day promised. They're the one's that a person can point their finger at and say, there goes a hero', with as much vigor as another that is pointing their finger shouting, 'there goes a criminal!'. They're the early supper before your late-night show, your conversation about the late bills, and your hear-to-heart talk that you've been fretting to have with your loved one all day. They're your alarm ringing the next morning, your first sip of coffee, your traffic report, and your dreary ride to work. They connect the day to the night as well as the night to the day.
The Vigilante is the exhale of night which is as critical as the hero being the inhale of day. He is not the conversation, the question, or the response… he exists only as the action that must be taken. The vigilante is as a vampire feeding off of the evil that he battles and destroys while cursing that same evil coarsing through his veins which makes him such a deadly tool. To understand a vigilante is to argue with another about their reliqion. It does not work; for the vigilante is driven by the forces that have made him. The night engulfed him ages ago and refuses to allow him free from its clutch. Their road is lonely, allowing them to stop for quick breaks when the sunrise comes and the day has its chance on the playground. Vigilantes arre the sand on the playground that MUST be there.
-The Hero focuses on stopping crime first and addressing evil second while following the law.
-The Antihero focuses on stopping crime and stopping evil alike. He is willing to bend the law to accomplish his task.
-The Vigilante focuses on stopping evil first and addressing crime second and is willing to break the law.
The Hero strives to inspire, to be accountable to those he serve, and embraces the responsibility that comes with his position. (The Superman Theory)
The Antihero creates apprehension and inspires those that he has served and saved directly. He lacks accountability but embraces the responsibility of his position. (The Batman Theory)
The Vigilante is terror. He exists as the necessary evil existing to rival the evil that he combats. He is not and cares not about accountability or resposibility. This is a path that he has no choice but to travel. He is the warring angel in the bowels of hell. (The Punisher Theory)
So… if YOU were a superhero, what type of hero would you be?
Why?
