The Superhero's Manifesto

I will not self designate myself as a hero. If others call me such, so be it.

I will not regard myself as anything other than a human being.

I will not assume responsibility outside of the actions I commit and the people I affect.

I will not seek trouble, danger, or any circumstance that puts myself or others in a place of possible harm unless my presence in said place has the potential to cause less harm than my absence.

I will not sacrifice safety for fashion.

I will not sacrifice integrity for fame.

I will not make grand statements of intended deeds, but rather act in the manner which most befits the circumstance.

I will not act at the expense of others without due consideration.

I will not act at the expense of myself without due consideration.

I will not play god.

I will not play devil’s advocate.

I will not infringe upon the basic rights of any human except when they forfeit those rights through the process of attempting to harm another human.

I will be uncompromising in these things.
