Talk:Chief Cruz/@comment-44544263-20200121002933

So after trying to understand Chief Cruz’s reasons and beliefs on superheroes and how he got to that conclusion, here is my hypothesis on what I have so far:

Cruz was young when Boss Awesome first appeared and began his duty to protect and save the city. Seeing someone do amazing things that others cannot can make you believe people like Boss Awesome are able to do anything and always come when needed. That’s probably what he believed when he was a kid. The villains that Boss Awesome fought all had the same goal of either taking down Boss Awesome or being his number one nemesis. If the villain who killed Chief Cruz’s father did it for the same reasons as Baron Von Steamer and Supersonic Sue, who were villains of Boss Awesome (and we all show how they both wanted to beat him and become his number one nemesis), than in a way I can see how he could come to that conclusion of “how superheroes attract supervillains and if there weren’t superheroes to begin with than there wouldn’t be supervillains”. Growing up in an era full of supervillains who all had the same exact goal could make some people believe that the cause of their appearance was due to wanting to takedown one superhero alone.

A lot of people agree that Chief Cruz is like Evelyn Deavor because they both want to get rid of superheroes due to suffering a loss. In a way I kinda agree. Well the difference between them is their beliefs on why they want to get rid of superheroes, and their alignment. Chief Cruz’s belief is that superheroes alone attract the villains, and villains cause harm. He’s a good cop who wants to protect the citizens of San Fransokyo from suffering the kind of pain he suffered as a child. While Evelyn Deavor’s belief is that superheroes take away people’s independence to fend for themselves in dire situations, making them weak. She’s a mad woman who would go to the extreme for her goal to succeed, going as far as the hurt people.

I’m certain that Chief Cruz will once again trust superheroes again. He was a fan of superheroes once and I’m sure he will be one again. Perhaps what may restore his faith in superheroes again will be learning more about his father. Maybe his father was a fan of Boss Awesome or even worked along side him. Time will tell what will happen.
