I noticed a lot of people here are called "superheroes". Whatever the hell that means. Anyway, how would you define a hero? You know good and evil and all of that shit can change radically based on your perspective.

[This has been Xue Yang's morality TED talk. You're welcome.]

Justice is in the eyes of the one who holds the sword.

Since you're asking so nicely. [no but she will answer seriously.] "Hero" is just a word. People can make up heroes and call things "justice" as much as they want and they can enforce it for almost forever if they've got enough swords--or more powerful weapons.

But only almost.

Useful, as mottoes go.

I don't think real justice is in the eyes of who has the power. That's just control, and that's different.
