That's closely related to the spirit of industrial syndicalism : trade unions, craft unions and initially [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild guilds] were meant to counterbalance the dog-eat-dog capitalistic background.

[[Striker]], [[Fury]] (Banshee, Valkyrie, etc)... that's already better. | Strikers who were aware of [[Muro]]'s global plans were picturing themselves as ''pending supermen'', not petty criminals.
