That's just horrible! The US did testing of overflights by supersonic planes on a daily basis in like, the 1960s I think (I forget which city), the results were so compelling that no-one has allowed routine supersonic flights over any areas people live in since.Also, if you fly around destroying all the satellites you think are spy satellites (as pointed out by [USER=1]@Morrus[/USER], you don't actually know which are which unless you're high-up in intelligence), not only are you going to miss some, you're going to cause havoc.If you want to spend a few months or years "disarming the world", I could see that move (i.e. you start by going around disabling all the nuclear missiles you can find - and I do think you'd get pretty good at it, so you'd probably find most, and you could catch and destroy any that got fired), follow up by collecting all the warheads and throwing them into the sun, go around and smash all the tanks and attack aircraft (fighters, bombers), and threaten anyone sending armies, but then you're creating a very dramatic situation which basically makes you a kind of ruler of the Earth (and also isn't necessarily just, because it sort of means current political boundaries likely solidify, and those may not be just boundaries, c.f. various comics and anime which explore these ideas or touch on them), and certainly will not be compatible with having a secret identity in any meaningful sense.</blockquote>
