New superhero: Crime Man.
He stops crimes exclusively by comitting crimes. He out-crimes the criminals.
The Punisher does this and the crime is murder
The Punisher doesn’t stop crime, he punishes criminals. Big difference. Crime Man is more proactive than that.
So what you really mean is like. A totalitarian government that profiles people and arrests them before they commit crimes (which is a crime)
No, it’s more like stopping a credit fraud from happening by comitting arson.
*A mugger threatening me with a knife* Give me your money!
*Crimeman appearing from the darkness with a bigger knife* NO CRIMINAL! You give me YOUR money!
I love the efforts to get deeply analytical and political but op just shuts them down with no crime man does CRIME
BUT BETTER
Leverage. its a show about con artists who trick rich assholes and murderers into either confessing to their crimes, trick them into committing major crimes or get them to be in just the perfect spot to be arrested.
