The world has never had much use for superheroes. He just sat behind a desk most days, had created a forum on the internet. People joined it, because people will join anything, but he only paid attention to the spammers, tracking them back to their sources, hunting them down the information highways.
He took down computers, reported companies, all from a third-hand office chair and a computer he could barely afford. Authorities noticed a decrease in spam and were quick to praise companies, to even praise consumers for wising up to old frauds. The superhero tried not to care, tried to tell himself he was only doing the right thing, that he didn't need fame, that he didn't need fortune.
But every day it became a little harder.
