Vigilante

Vigilantes, also known as Anti-Heroes, are heroes who aren't registered with the American Syndicate of Heroes but are popular with the public.

Role
Vigilantes behave the same way heroes do but without a license or any connection to A.S.H.. This means that they receive absolutely no funding from the A.S.H. or any support whatsoever. The A.S.H. discourages vigilantes and asks that they become licensed, often times antagonizing the behavior of vigilantes. As a vigilante, a hero doesn't have to follow any protocol or rules, meaning lethal or inhuman acts are not restricted on.

It is this uncapped behavior that results in most A.S.H. members being weary of vigilantes, but other members will secretly collaborate with vigilantes for the sake of a mission.

What prevents A.S.H. from openly pursuing vigilantes is usually their popularity with the public. If a vigilante is publicly liked, they will often be left alone to prevent any scandal with the A.S.H.. However, if their public opinion were to drop significantly, a vigilante could be in danger of being arrested by A.S.H. or being put on their wanted list.
