The Bad Guy Verland Marshall

In this present day, the rich controls the world, while the poor struggle or become free workers of the state. Crime is rampant. Racism is prevalent everywhere. Police officers have gone rogue without the fear of facing any consequences, and our politicians are only loyal to those who financially line their pockets substantially. With all of this going on in the world, we could use a real hero right now. But how do you define a hero? Can this person relate to the problems that people face daily? Would this person be willing to do the things that others won't? Are they willing to administer a punishment that matches the crime? When hopelessness is all there is left, an unorthodox hero emerges, unintentionally igniting a flame amongst the people. This hero was not born. He was created from desperation, grief, and anger. Hoping for change without effort is no longer an option for him. While his words are silent, his actions speak volumes for the rest of the hopeful. We all have imagined the perfect hero, what they would be like, along with their capabilities. More than likely, that hero would be similar to the popular hero wearing red and blue tights. Well, this isn't your average hero. In fact, his role of heroism will make others label him as just another Bad Guy. Despite it all, this hero is willing to accept the Bad Guy moniker, as well as any consequences that comes with his actions. Let's just hope the world doesn't turn this hero into a monster.
