Maybe once a month, since I remembered this time.
That guy from The Office (NBC) wrote a column in Entertainment Weekly. I don't exactly remember what he wrote, but he basically said that we, as a society, would not want a vigilante or powered person running around taking the law into their own hands. And, honestly, how many times do we see a "publicly" viewed person act like a thug or gang lord? From what I can tell they only control a small section of a city. Certainly security minded groups (FBI, military, police) would be highly interested in restraining these individuals, if only to stop these people from creating a bigger mess.
Take as an example any police department of a fairly large metropolis. (1)They have more resources than one lone superhero. (2)They go to school to do what they do. Superheroes usually don't have criminal science degrees. (3)There are WAY MORE people in these departments than the lone superhero, so they can multi-task. They get more done in several hours than superheroes can do in a week. (4)The public sees the faces of the police. Superheroes are masked, thus they have a problem with publicity at the start. The heroes will be distrusted because they are actively hiding something. Police departments are passively distrusted because they are public organizations.
The superhero is a fantasy and no one should make it real.
