Yeah, that's the other point. People just might not know they're out there. 

I think it's generally accepted that superheros don't exist, so making a name for yourself with costumes or showing off on social media probably isn't a big draw except in people's imaginations. But people who are doing something would likely prefer to remain anonymous and not flashy. So, it just wouldn't turn into a big story.

I disagree. People make up stories about how they did some minor acts of heroism on Facebook all the time. (i know at least five people who have allegedly stopped muggings at knife-point... Three times... This year.) For likes and shares. If you actually did something, in today's society, I think you'd spread it like wildfire.

Like i said, it's just so weird, since we have such a culture that glorifies vigilantees and anti-heroes. (Dexter. Breaking Bad, all of the Superhero movies and TV-shows, etc.)
