I think you raise valid points that I hope the people involved consider. If this group stumbled across a gang in Halifax the gang would attempt to stomp them into the ground and there would be no concept of "fair fighting". I don't believe fair fighting makes sense anyway but this group might have some over developed sense of "decency". Hopefully they all realize that on the street the gloves are off.

When my son was in grade five he told people he was in karate and then became a target for everyone who thought they were tough. Luckily he had an incredible level of self control. I expect sooner or later this will happen to these superheros.

You made reference to the Batmen in Dark Knight, at least they had some sort of gear even if it was only an umpire's vest. These superheros in the video don't have the protection provided by a good motocross suit! When I have more time I will check out the registry.

My superhero name would be "Thunderpants", by the way.
