    Superheroes are an idealistic fantasy, just like anarcho-capitalism. The difference is that superhero creators are aware of that but ancaps are not.

      I think superheroes are less fantasy than ancap, science might someday provide things like reliable genetic enhancements, enhancing cybernetic implants or technology allowing personal flight or shooting lasers from gloves. But anarchocapitalism will never work as they think it would.

        There were those people who ran around in Seattle for a few years in costumes, some of them helping people, most of them being cops. So we’ve technically had costumed… uh… “Crime” fighters.
