Vigilante

Victorian-era superheroes, vigilantes dress in outlandish costumes and use their ingenuity to build crime-fighting and monster-hunting devices. The most famous of these heroes include New York City’s “The Yankee,” armed with a crossbow and a utility-belt filled with trick crossbow bolts, and London’s “Spring-Heeled Jack,” equipped with spring-loaded boots, glider wings, and a mask with a flamethrower built into the mouth.
