League of Heroes: Origins - "Mission Statement"

New Brickton - 30 years ago:

 

Anonymous editorial from the “New Brickton Post”

 

To all who live in the city of New Brickton,

 

There has been much speculation recently about my existence and my purpose. I can assure you New Brickton, I do exist. To all of my critics who accuse me of being a vigilante, I have the following to state. I do not see this title as an insult as it derives from the Latin word “vigilantem” which means to be watchful. Know this New Brickton, I am watching.

 

No tragedy defines me, no great loss has driven me to do what I do. I am one more angry citizen tired of the corruption that festers away at the heart of this city. One more person who is tired of helplessly watching their city fall into degradation and violence as the authorities sit idly on their hands. I am merely one more voice in the crowd. However, my voice will not be silenced.

 

If you commit acts of evil, I will find you. If you continue to corrupt this once great city, you will not be able to hide from me for long. Your dark underworld is my home now. From this day forward, let the name Gothic be on the minds of all who harm the innocent, for you will no longer find refuge in the shadows.

 

The refusal of good people to stand up for what is right is just as criminal as those who break the law.

 

Forever vigilant,

 

Gothic
