If there are any people here who were costume heroes or vigilantes before coming here, please get in contact with me. I have blue stars drawn on the shoulders of my shirt.

I understand that many of you value your secrecy, but we will benefit much more from working together.

Yeah, I guessed that much when I saw your bulletin message. I'm just kind of curious, that's all.

Like the secrecy too, do you all have two names like that? Why is it a secret?

The main reason is for safety. Our safety, and the safety of people we care about. Heroes make a lot of enemies among the people that they stop, people that would almost always rather strike at us when we're vulnerable, or take someone we care about hostage.

I personally prefer a more open, honest approach, but I know someone who had their family killed because of a compromised identity. That's why it usually has to be a secret. However, I've been 'out' for a few decades now.

I think I get it. It still seems kind of dangerous here too though. I mean, it's just as likely that some of your enemies are here as well as your allies.

All my enemies know who I am already. It's complicated, but that's why I'm putting this up. I can afford to be visible.
