Now in order to talk about this in a relevant and meaningful way, I'm going to have to use an example - this time around it will be from your standard 4 color comics.Let's talk about Batman. Batman, as written in most of his incarnations, is CG. He fights evil where he finds it, but does so as a vigilante - working completely outside the law. He realizes that certain criminals need to have some of their civil rights broken in order for the Law to do its job: he works outside the framework of recognized organization (and, if you pay attention to some of the stuff with him in the various Justice Leagues, even organizations he voluntarily joined).One thing, however, is very important to remember - it is generally accepted that Batman does not kill. Killing breaks not just an Ethical barrier for the Dark Knight (which he has no problem with), but a Moral one. Sure, he might kick the holy bejeezus out of criminals, but he doesn't kill them, going so far as to save the lives of his adversaries if they end up in mortal danger while he pursues them.So that behavior you described? Its not CG, its N.</blockquote>
