Explanation[edit]

The Iron Sociopath is an original superhero (or perhaps supervillain?) who stops a purse snatcher, but admits that he does so because enacting the law enables him to commit more violence than breaking it. This could be a satire of police officers, who are often accused of abusing their power, but it's more directly a satire of politicians, implying that they willfully enable violence to occur. Sociopathy is a term used to describe a lack of empathy and a disregard for the needs or rights of others in a pathological sense, and so it is an ironic trait for a superhero to have.

Transcript[edit]

Stop, evil-doer! I am the Iron Sociopath.
Sociopath? So you're amoral?
Then why do you fight crime?
Aah!
Society sanctions violence under certain conditions, but punishes with imprisonment under others. If I obey the law, I get to commit more violence.
Aah!
Thank you, Iron Sociopath! How can I ever repay you?
Don't forget to vote this November.
Re-elect the Iron Sociopath to the Senate!
"Enemies are everywhere!"
