The Costume Says It All

If I was going to become a costumed vigilante, I would most obviously choose the material they make swimsuit with to construct my costume. It is form-fitting and would be the material that is easiest to move in. Plus, I'm pretty sure they sell it in bulk at Jo-Ann's. I would definitely wear a mask, most likely a full face one. Those silly ones that cover your eyes only do absolutely nothing. I'm not quite sure what else I would use...I would probably carry a pocketknife and a length of rope. It would probably also be worthwhile to have a some sort of hook that I could shoot out, possibly try to swing from building to building. It sounds completely ridiculous, but you never know. It's realistically possible.

In my hometown, I think the biggest problems are gangs. So if I picked up being a masked vigilante, it would be to fight the influence of gangs. I saw what it did to people when I was in high school and it totally ruined some people's lives. From the documentary, I think I most identified with was Master Legend because although he was excessively eccentric and an alcoholic, he was in it for the right reasons. Maybe from him, we can all learn to ride around in vans and carry air conditioners around for the less fortunate. He was working from his heart and doing it because he was a good person. And that's why I would do it as well.

  1. I like the idea of a form fitting costume. It sounds so superhero like and is very practical.

  2. You would find the good in an alcoholic, but I can see where your coming from when you say that he is doing it from the heart.
