A Recipe on How to Make Your Own City's Crime Fighter

1 medium length cape (extending past the backs of knees), that is light in material and flows naturally in the wind so that it stands to the human eye when in public.

3 ½ cups of special abilities or superpowers (about 16 ounces worth)

½ cup of a secret identity (ex: Peter Parker = Spiderman)

½ cup of an awesome nickname that fits special capabilities

½ cup of a tragic flaw or weakness with a specific backstory (ex: Superman and his weakness to kryptonite)

1 pinch of moral code

3 – 6 teaspoons of arch nemeses or supervillains (ex: X-Men vs. Magneto)

2 – 3 teaspoons of sidekicks (ex: Batman and Robin)

3 alternate costumes that are form-fitted, that come with a mask, a specialized symbol on the chest, and that come along with special equipment (ex: Batsuit and Utility Belt)

Line rimmed body mold with parchment paper; arrange cape and abilities/superpowers in single layer at the bottom of the body mold. Freeze abilities/superpowers until very cold, but not frozen, for about 24 hours. In massive mixer, puree special abilities/superpowers, secret identity, tragic flaw/weakness, moral code, 1 tablespoon of arch nemeses/supervillains, 1 teaspoon of sidekicks, and ice until uniformly molded; do this for about 10 to 15 hours. Test for development abilities and flaws; if desired, add more nemeses/villains or sidekicks and blend until combined, do this for about 2 hours longer. Prepare for development to happen immediately through course of the hero setting-up. 

Makes a protector of the people, good enough for one large over-populated city with high crime rates. 

Per Hero (Serving):

This recipe makes up one extraordinary superhero, which will be dedicated to protecting the people. It is recommended that there be one hero per city.

WARNING

It is quite common for a hero to work as a vigilante and enforce the law without legal authority if the public and law enforcement are against the hero or do not adequately do their part in time of need.
