"Yeah, but that doesn't mean it isn't better to have the cops around," Virgil argued. As Static, he tended to work with the police when he could, and even though there were times when he preferred to go after a big bad without police interference, he didn't like to make a habit of it. "I mean, I've had trouble with them before myself, what superhero hasn't? But on the other hand, they're handy to have around when somebody makes an evil clone of you or something. Which, I dunno about you guys, but that happens to superheroes in my world more than you'd think."

"Besides, you need superheroes to stop the bad guys, but at the end of the day, the police should put 'em away. I don't think it'd be right for the heroes to decide what to do with them."
