yamamura Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 A tip has revealed that one of the cities Super Hero is not an American Citizen and is actually from Latin America. Your Character has worked with super before and knows them to be a good and just person but they are breaking the law. Also it is obvious that some one else knows the super's secret. Ps. Sorry if this has been done before and please try avoid turning it inot a flame war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McManus Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker What do you mean J'onn J'onzz is not from Kalamazoo? Does he at least have his greed card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kharis2000 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Hmmm... depends on who I'm playing Isuppose. If I'm in my "white-knight" phase for characters, then I'd likely see what I could do about setting up a visa, getting a green card, and making sure the fellow hero's civilian ID was clear of approach. all of that, assuming, of course, that they'd let me. If I was in my "shadowy knight" phase for characters, then I'd simply create an entire other identity for the hero through whatever means were required to make it unimpeachable (hacking, bribery, favor swapping, etc.) and then set things up to make it look like the hero's actual identity was a scam to entrap the villain who knows it so we could get that threat out of the way.

CrosshairCollie Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker What do you mean J'onn J'onzz is not from Kalamazoo? Does he at least have his greed card? Green. And if he didn't have a green card, the Lantern could make one for 'im. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwcain Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Most of my characters would react the same way: Help the illegal super to become a legal immigrant. Obviously, he (or she) is the kind of immigrant we'd WANT to keep, if he's a superhero! Of course, many of my characters would also insist that the ex-illegal suffer consequences for his lawbreaking..."Community service" sounds about right.

Trebuchet Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker This wouldn't bother Zl'f a bit. After all, she lives in Norway, a country she originally entered illegally and where she has lived and worked under a false identity for nearly seven years. She might wonder why the hero in question isn't fighting crime in his own country instead of a foreign land, but she's far more interested in justice than the legality of this kind of thing.

Blue Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Teen Anthem would suggest they apply (in secret id) for their green card and if there are any problems she'd try to put in a good word. Uncle Slam would run a security check and then with one of a great many favors owed him he'd see to it they were ok'd for citizenship. Audra Blue would hack into the INS database and ok them herself. She's got no conscience when it comes to doing right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Captain Everything's a dick. Captain Everything actually got another hero deported for being an illegal immigrant. Taco Bell missed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thia Halmades Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker "So, you're illegal, eh?" Thia shrugs nonchalantly. "We need to get that fixed. I swore an oath to uphold the law of the land, and you're currently breaking it. So let's go see if we can expedite some paperwork. I'm Lawful Good, not Lawful Stupid. Now if you want to get into a debate on whether you need legalization, I'll deport you myself. Right now we're going to call this a clerical oversight. You're a HERO. There's no reason they wouldn't want you to be a legal citizen. That's just stupid." If they order Thia to deport him - Thia will. He'll obey the law of the land; he's shackled that way. That will NOT stop him from trying to do what's right, but he does not believe you can do what's right if you're willing to break the law for it. If said super is NOT willing to submit to the immigration process, or resists, Thia will deport him personally. Bam. No problem; now he's breaking the law and doesn't feel a need to correct it.

dbsousa Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Golden Eagle will approach the hero and offer her an H1B Visa through Good Guys Incorporated What is an H-1B? The H-1B is a nonimmigrant classification used by an alien who will be employed temporarily in a specialty occupation or as a fashion model of distinguished merit and ability. What is a specialty occupation? A specialty occupation requires theoretical and practical application of a body of specialized knowledge along with at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. For example, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, business specialties, accounting, law, theology, and the arts are specialty occupations. Toreador would not rat her out, but would suggest that her special abilities would make her an ideal candidate for special immigration status. Bouncer would marry her if she were hot.

Alibear Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker The Cat wouldn't bat an eyelid. He obviously isn't a bad guy so who really cares about lines on a map when the world might get destroyed before lunch but for the sacrafice of heroes like him.

ghost-angel Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Superheroes work all over the world, traditionally the genre doesn't require them to be citizens.... Now if his Secret ID is illegal, he may want to look into getting a green card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
input.jack Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Revenant- Looks into getting the character an H1-B, as listed above (thanks for posting that; made Revenants job alot easier). Black Hawk- Asks the hero if hes in the country on a temp visa. If hes actually here illegally, shed slap him upside the back of the head once, for being a doofus, and then get to work getting his paperwork cleared up.

GoldenAge Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker BASTION, or Dr. Castle to be more correct, wouldn't even look up from the unique inner workings of the plasma driven psychotronic exercism projector that Epic Alliance "legally appropriated" from their last criminal adversary (under Section 4, Article 4 of their team charter). He would simply say... "...Wha? Yah, it's in the fridge." Sebastian (Dr. Castle/Bastion) doesn't pay much attention to anything else when engrossed in his work.

assault Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Assault's not an American citizen either. Tweaking the question appropriately, I doubt he would care. He's not a Law and Order twinky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Schultz Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Being in a given country without the proper paperwork is the superhero eqivalent of speeding: most do it on a semi-regular basis, and no one really cares. In particular: Jake the Troll is Canadian, and would probably shrug, mutter something like "Well, you should probably work on that, eh?", and go back to school. Shinji Miromoto is an Japanese national, and an illegal immagrant himself. He'd try to avoid the conversation entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springald Jack Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Illegal Worker Hexslinger wouldn't care, he beieves in Good but is at best indifferent to Law. He might try to get the paperwork taken care of but only to avoid future problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
