Adrian Chase[edit]

We should definitely have a mention of Adrian Chase, the vigilante judge who let people go on technicalities and then hunted them down and shot them. DS 22:12, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Adrian Chase made a few comic book appearances before his first appearance as the second Vigilante in New Teen Titans Annual #2 (1983). His first non-costumed appearance was in New Teen Titans #23 (September 1983), making several appearances in the series before becoming Vigilante.--RedKnight 15:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC) adrian Chase and the other vigilantes were removed from this page recently. Why?[reply]

Add it to a category[edit]

can we make a category for superheroes with no acctual power?

Fair use rationale for Image:Vigilante17alanmoore.jpg[edit]

Image:Vigilante17alanmoore.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Two Entries[edit]

I believe there should be two entries for Vigilante, one being Greg Saunders (Sanders) and the other being Adrian Chase and the other Vigilantes taking up his mantle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.97.39.34 (talk) 02:42, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tags[edit]

The article is written with an essay-like tone, often with uncited POV observations. It has virtually no footnotes from anywhere other than the in-universe comics themselves. And it is virtually all fictography with almost no real-world background. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:26, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Real life vigilante[edit]

So you see vigilantes in comic books but what you will hardly ever see is real life people taking a stance to protect those who need protection not enough protection at I mean yes we got police officers but they've got rules and restrictions for instance the amber alert that appeared on everyone's phones the cops can't do anything for the next 48 hours and that is what is so irritating why can we do our part why do people have to be afraid of standing up for those in need of help 2001:579:8148:1E90:E08F:8BCE:3941:7F24 (talk) 21:22, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
