Samurai or not, if he didn't have a cape then he isn't a superhero. That's the rules.

He should be glad he didn't stick around. It's the UK. He would have been arrested for being a 'vigilante' and defending others with a weapon.

One of the burglars began running away but was stopped by the stranger who struck him on the arm with the sword. Sure it wasn't Zorro? Check this criminal and see if where he was struck on the arm resembles the letter "Z".

Superman on the otherhand had a cape but was no Superhero in my book. How can someone with such Omnipotent powers be so parochial and display such a lack of scope.
A self proclaimed protector of the weak who stop muggers in Metropolis but sits idly by while tyrannical dictators kill thousands in the third world and famine wreaks havoc.
To: burzum
most superheros dissed the cape in the early 1990s due to it getting caught during various do-gooding.
i think this was an incident involving the return of "weedhopper."

Sounds like the police need to start bringing guns to those knife fights so they won't need a good samaritan to come to the rescue with what is probably an "illegal" weapon.

Of course he didn't stick around. They throw you in jail for defending yourself with a deadly weapon there. No doubt the sword is "illegal" there too.

Moral: don't bring hammer, knives or chains to a sword fight. Or for that matter, to a gun fight.

Whatever you do, don't say this to Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Flash, Aquaman, Wildcat, Wonder Woman, Sandman, Starman, Damage, Stargirl, Nightwing, Starfire, or any of their non-caped superhero brethren.
They might have to hurt you.
To: burzum
Oddly enough it's very easy to buy a Samurai sword in Britain. Nor is there a legal issue in owning one. This is the reason why home-defence and vigilante cases in the UK often resemble scenes from "Kill Bill"
Britain is the new Water Margin: no guns, but loads of cool martial arts!

It's no big deal unless he were blind. Then I'm impressed.

Has anyone pinged that Freeper who was into swords? Speed addict or something? He said he was a felon who couldn't own guns, but was into martial arts. He said the time it takes to cross a room with a sword is just a fraction of what it would take to draw a gun and fire.
Anyone know who he is?

if he didn't have a cape then he isn't a superhero. That's the rules. Only supervillains have capes. Capes are vanity and fashion statements and endup getting sucked into a jet engine or caught on the rotors of a helicopter.
