Frank P asked:


I’m writing stories about superheroes. I’ve been wondering about what it would be like if they existed in the real world. How would the Justice system react. Do you know of any actions superheroes that would be illegal. What are some charges that could be held against such characters? What’s the deal with vigilantism? How does the justice system deal with it? Any answers you can give would be appreciated.
I was actually looking for some charges that could be held against them.
