a decade or more ago and the street level hero doing investigative work to track down a target would have had to go do the groundwork themselves. would have had to track down clues, talk to the citizens on the streets, maybe go to a computer guy for some intel, etc etc. narrowing down potential locations until staking out the right one... but instead nowadays, the street level friendly neighborhood hero spider-man uses the mass 24/7 surveillance state created to control/watch everyday citizens to his advantage for his own personal vigilante reasons. accessing city cameras and facial recognition software to hunt down, capture, and depower an extremist mutant like...... okay. sure. yeah.
