So, even though you keep your helicopter in the darkest corner of your tool-shed and feel it only the cabbage of the gods as a light pre-flight supper, you are not quite that civic-minded as your assumed and self-proclaimed super-hero status would suggest: is it… Staying-in-to-Watch-the-Telly Man?
It may be one of the finest superhero costumes ever to grace this world but not many would know that, would they, Staying-in-to-Watch-the-Telly Man?
After all, you costume itself is in pristine condition, except for a few takeaway stains and some shiny worn patches from where you have been sitting, assiduously watching the telly in it. As for your artificially-intelligent crime fighting helicopter, it still sits forlornly in the back of your tool-shed, nibbling on its cabbage storks and dreaming its cyborg dreams of fighting crime, if only... if only... there wasn't something good on the telly tonight… yet again.
However, though, the streets tonight will be safe, clear and deserted of all the criminal elements, who once stalked those very streets to bring fear, disaster and mayhem to the ordinary people of the great metropolis, because all the criminals now live in mortal fear of Staying-in-to-Watch-the-Telly Man, his fearsome crime-fighting abilities and his deadly, cabbage-eating, robot helicopter. So, instead of rampaging through the city on a crime-spree, the criminals of that great heaving metropolis now all stay in and watch the telly instead.
