==Explanation==
The Iron Sociopath is an [[Original Superheroes|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.
