The Ethics of Superheroing

I really want this character developed into a full story--even if it lasts only one issue before the people of the city decide to kill Trolley Man.

Daniel Murrell of Danby Draws imagines a hero that you wouldn't want to summon without fully thinking through the implications. We'll need a team of ethicists to at least inform us of the consequences of our choices.

But once we have summoned Trolley Man, how do we choose a sacrifice? Random chance? Perhaps only nefarious criminals? Or should being sacrificed be the responsibility of the person who called our hero to the scene?

John, I think this is exactly the amount of development the comic needs.
BTW, the Tolley Problem has a legal solution: Do not alter course. Inaction is not a crime.
