He's a card-carrying superhero. Literally. (http://www.intakeweekly.com/articles/7/024730-2227-161.html)
Usually he has his partner Doktor DiscorD along. Not surprisingly, two men in costumes walking around Downtown incite odd reactions.
Mr. Silent just brushes it off. People aren't accustomed to seeing superheroes patrolling the city . . . yet. But since the duo began this "experiment," as Mr. Silent calls it, the superhero trend has started to catch on. Others have e-mailed the duo asking how they can join and superheroes have popped up in other cities worldwide, he said.
"A lot of people have told us that they've been waiting for something like this to happen," he said. "Like there was a hole in them; they always wished that something like this was real."

As someone with a long-time interest in grassroots neighborhood security... this is fascinating. I would hope that he has been in contact with local law enforcement to learn how to spot suspicious activity, and hasn't been attempting to intervene himself.
I'm not sure 'Mr. Silent' is the wisest superhero name ever. :P
