Yaaaaa, no. That violates 3 things: Common sense and logic, the law, and the hippocratic oath.

A lot of things violate a lot stuff in Worm. Even the doctors know that violates a whole bunch of stuff.
Though in this case the law isnt violated cause that is a court decision (that nobody other than certain people know about).
Um, it's literally the job of the courts to interpret the law and provide punishments for breaking it, not violate it.
You just describe the problem with DC and Marvel.Tell that to the Worm-verse where wearing a mask allows someone to get away with murder without having their name be released and hunted down.
... Not really? Far as I know, most of the villains' identities are revealed rather quickly in cases where it matters and they're caught, at least.

No, seriously, can you name a long-running Marvel or DC villain who's kept a secret identity secret? I can't.
Yeah, but that was AFTER he served a prison sentence.
Untrue. As long as you're a native born US citizen who's at least 35 and has spent the last 14 years living in the USA, you can run for president. Doesn't matter what crime you've committed- in fact, you can run from your prison cell if you want.
Does make it more difficult to get people to vote for you, however.
Had being one half of the operative term- the other is he managed to not get caught for quite a while.
Not really familiar with him, but didn't he generally stick to petty crime? You know... the stuff that generally doesn't attract FBI attention?
Well, being a shapeshifter or someone who doesn't have to be within a hundred miles of the crime does help with secret identities.
Well, in the "old" comics, he was assumed dead as a victim of the holocaust. Dunno what the new variant looks like.
There is that. But still, it destroys the assertion that Marvel and DC's legal forces had any respect for those hiding behind a mask.Most of them were physically deformed or completely insane after all.

... Maybe because they don't know their names? Once the E88's names came out they were immediately gone after.
You're trying to say that once someone's identity becomes known they get hunted down while I'm saying that they can murder without having their names released or searched for (ie Kaiser who went after the guy who broke the unspoken rules canonically before the story started). They're different things.
Don't they have some kind of registry for full suit of plate armor in America?Question: How do you figure out the identity of a person wearing a full suit of plate armor?

... Well, just thought that since they don't have armors left lying around in places they would have some kind of registry for it if someone decides to get some so they somehow get money from it, but it seems I'm wrong.
N... No. What... What?
Like, I googled for one, because that's just so what that it had to be a thing and it's not.
The fuck did you get that from?

iirc, thats fanon.(ie Kaiser who went after the guy who broke the unspoken rules canonically before the story started)

again, "you dont look for my identity and I dont paint the walls with your family's blood."Then how about Oni Lee? He's killed more than enough people but nobody's tried to unmask him yet.
buzz 7.7 said:The beams of light that blasted from her palm weren't straight. There was a bit of a spiral to them, as they formed a rough double helix. The end result was wider than Purity was tall, tearing into the building to topple the crane against one wall. She turned the light on the other walls, obliterating them.
It took her less than a minute to level the building and pulverize any part of the structure that stood higher than the sidewalk.
She paused, and hovered there in the midst of the dust and the motes of light that had followed in the wake of her power. She turned and shot the next-closest building, directing a smaller, tighter beam at one corner where the structure met the ground. She hit the next corner, then swept the oscillating shaft of light through the ground floor to obliterate any supports that stood within. The building toppled messily with brick walls sloughing off and cresting plumes of dust.
The building hadn't even finished falling down before she started work on the next two, devoting one beam to each.
again, "you dont look for my identity and I dont paint the walls with your family's blood."
The examples you keep using, Kaiser, Lung, Oni Lee, most of the empire capes etc, are all killers. Anyone stupid enough to try unmasking them is just going to get themselves and others killed.
Keep in mind, the heros dont follow the rules because they want too. The heros are out numbered and the villians are killers.
In canon, this was Purity's response to being unmasked.
So, think of it like this. The Protectorate releases all the names they have. Every villian they have ever dealt with, fought or arrested is publicly unmasked... then what?
The capes they have unmasked no longer have anything to lose. No reason not to kill everyone who gets in their way. Keep in mind, we are talking about people who can depopulate a city. This isn't Marvel/DC, the villians look just as normal as everyone else. Night and fog for example, what would happen if they walked into a crouded mall - say during black friday - and started attacking people?
The villians sorta follow the rules cause it's convenient. The heros follow it because they dont have a choice.
The way I see things it would be an even greater perversion of law to just follow the letter blindly regardless of the collateral damage.This really just means that if there is a strong enough reason, the law is willing to bend the rules for those who has the power to pervert them. I'm still fine with what I wrote.
How do you know that? For all we know, lots of people tried. Could be he doesn't keep a civilian identity to unmask- his personality was annihilated by his power (silly as that concept is in a supposedly purely physical universe like Worm)- and you can't locate something which doesn't exist.Then how about Oni Lee? He's killed more than enough people but nobody's tried to unmask him yet.
I always assumed it to be some form of specialized brain damage. Brains are very finicky things, it wouldn't surprise me if there was something difficult with properly arranging the billions or trillions of atoms in a brain.How do you know that?

They would get to play Santa and Mrs Claus this year at the E88 Christmas Banquet and give away all the presents they collected on the way out.Night and fog for example, what would happen if they walked into a crouded mall - say during black friday - and started attacking people?
