	Heroes suspected of murder will suffer real life consequences such as getting hunted by police, bad PR, and trouble sleeping at night. Sometimes police may turn a blind eye, but there is a line that cannot be strictly defined. As mentioned if you keep on killing bad guys how are they going to come back next issue? Superheroes killing, or even attacking bad guys in "the line of duty" run a risk. In this world supers are considered vigilantes. In fact, “vigilantes” is the common word used to describe "superheroes." Also note superhero secret identities have no legal protection. That means, since in the US courts the accused has the constitutional right to know who his accuser is, a super cannot be a witness in a court of law unless he gives up his secret identity. Which in turn, means that the heroes have to gather evidence to make charges stick to criminals. If a bundle of financial records that prove the mayor is dealing drugs turns up on the steps of police HQ, there aren't as many issues as to where they came from in prosecution. Unless the mayor can afford a very good lawyer. Unfortunately, with New Venice politics being as it is, it has happened before.

	===Michelangelo===		===Michelangelo===

			Michelangelo is a bomb-maker, named so for the intricacy and precision with which he practices his "art". His pride is such that he makes no attempt to conceal his handiwork, but rather each bears his distinct, artistic flourish, often incorporating blown glass, mahogany, or polished ivory into his craft.

			Trade experts claim it is almost a shame to diffuse Michelangelo's work, not that many are a capable match for their sophistication. Ordinance personnel resign themselves to remote detonation of what few of his bombs they can locate prior to their destruction.

			Near all of Michelangelo's bomb ingredients are handmade and untraceable. His involvement is suspected in the assassination of billionaire Travis Welk and his driver.
