Quote: Except that I'm not necessarily sure that I see the Lair Legion's primary role as law enforcement, though; yes, that does often come into play against people who are committing crimes through superhuman means, but only because our team, including its superhuman and non-superhuman members alike, are uniquely qualified to stop those folks from doing damage and causing harm to others. If anything, we're more like firefighters, albeit in a world with a shitload of arsonists and, well, sentient fire. The acts of law enforcement that we perform are, if anything, merely incidental, and at most, they're the price that we pay for being allowed to save the world from threats that nobody else could fully combat. Of course, with a utopianist like Dream, real-world social injustice falls into that aforementioned threat category.

... "Stopping villains" does not necessarily equate to "law enforcement," especially if your definition of "villains" includes at least some of the folks who, in a very real sense, ARE the law.
