Not every creep in Gotham wears a purple suit...

Terry McGinnis: Not every creep in Gotham wears a purple suit.

There are some villains you can't do anything about. Barbra and Terry are referring to the slimy CEO of WanyePowers, who is totally in league with the bad guys and also totally untouchable. Same sorta situation with Lex Luthor most of the time. These guys in suits are notorious for mocking the hero with the big "you can't touch me" speeches and the annoying thing is that they're totally right.
What do you  do about the less blatant supervillains out there? Sure, when you have psycho killers in bright green and purple costumes, people don't mind if you beat them up. Heck! They expect the hero to do so! What kind of a superhero sits by while innocent people are being victimized by these nuts?
But the quiet villains, the ones that don't ever go so far as actually causing trouble firsthand, they're the ones that you'll get in trouble for beating up. They do a great job of making the hero seem like a villain if they try that.

Does that make them less dangerous than costumed villains or just the opposite?
Unlike the Green Goblin or the Joker, who are immediately recognized by citizens and authorities, these villains can go on hurting people. You can't just beat them and call it a day. Odds are that you might be sitting across from the bloke at a charity event and have to smile and nod when they come to talk to you.
They think they're above the law or worse case scenario; they don't think they're villains. What authority could possibly touch them?

I'd like to connect this now with a real life problem that I'm sure we all have to face to some extent. What do you do when you have these sneaky villains in real life?
Instead of a physically abusive person, you're dealing with jerk who can hurt with words far easier than fists.
Instead of a corrupt boss stealing money from the company, you have a mean boss that doesn't care about his workers.
These guys are by no means the type of people on which you sick the cops. In fact, if you are a good Christian person, you're supposed to be respectful and loving to these sorts of people. "Love thy enemy," right?
There's nothing you can do about a person that's just short of "super" villain. Punching them in the face and being just as mean as they are won't do any good.

So does this mean you throw in the towel?
No, you can't do that. What sort of superhero would you be? You keep fighting the good fight, even when the villain has the upper hand on you.
Yes, you always have to seek out justice, doing whatever you can for the innocent people in harm's way, but it's not your place to be judge and jury for unsavory people (even the Dark Knight knows this). Let Paxton Powers, Lex Luthor, the Kingpin, and all those hidden villains think that they've won, that they've risen above any reprimand. A hero's strength of character is what truly wins the battle. It's not their ability to leap tall building and punch through walls that the villains should fear. It's what the hero stands for that gains them victory.

"But as for me and my house we will serve the Lord." -Joshua 24:15
