Yes, yes you do. Your outfit is barely personalized, it just looks like you’re some knock-off of an unknown hero. Get an emblem or something at least, at this point Buckaress could convincingly claim to have a galaxy emblazoned across her cleavage, but there’s nothing Defendress-y about the off brand Shera side character cosplay.
Actually, Alex’s costume (the color scheme, the winged headpiece and cut of the cape) puts me in mind of a bluejay. It might have once belonged to a former sidekick of Flying-Fox-Man?
I thought FFM kept all of the Dodo costumes in a Hall of Remembrance (that probably takes up 3/4 of his cave lair by now)? I don’t think a fellow hero would disrespect the dead that way.
Who says dead? And that costume is obviously for an adult woman, not a young boy. I’m thinking that maybe Alex’s costume might have belonged to a bird-themed heroine who retired from heroing. If there is a connection with FFM, it could be as “ex-girlfriend” or “former-partner-who-was-a-lot-better-than-him-and-he-doesn’t-want-to-admit-it”.
They aren’t growing; their size has been pretty consistent throughout the current arc. Maybe they were a little small before, but she’s always been busty. That’s why she was practically bursting out of her original (@Bolfman123-given) Halloween costume, and the new outfit was explained also, albeit kind-of handwaved away via comic-book superhero tropes. (“More skin = better protection on women!”)
Yeah at this point Buckaress is at least in a group that gets mentioned,
but Alex was invited to join an amazon brigade (although they just wanted a black chick to be inclusive)
Did The Lady Group ever find the new blonde they wanted many many MANY issues ago? That brown-costumed Xena-esque superchica Asstronomous was hitting on in the bar many-many issues ago would fit the bill…
Well, vigilante justice is illegal IRL. But with Shitropolis and the wider world having known supers, it’d be foolish to turn down the extra help, especially against supervillains.
Thus a system to ensure proper (or at least passable) training in acceptable force, law, detainment procedures and other such subjects. Also, it would operate as a way to ensure that supers can be tracked to ensure that any collateral damage gets paid for. Those repairs don’t come from the aether, after all. It’s sort of like the Pro Hero licenses in My Hero Academia.
Maybe it’s just a recognized form of ID to help keep superheroes organized, even if they don’t have any more legal authority than performing a citizen’s arrest (which any citizen can already do). The guard might also have accepted a driver’s license.
Sometimes all the bureaucracy wants is to be able to track *who* it is doing something.
Someday, Buckaress is going to wake up and her chest will be back to average size, and everyone but her will freak out about it. Her response will be something like “What? They’ve always been like this!”

You live in a city of thousands of heroes and haven’t done anything significant, of course they don’t know you
She should’ve let Buckaress lead the investigation – at least, here. Her, uh… **costume** is instantly recognizable by anyone over the age of puberty.
Surely she has no more than 80% of Distracterella’s powers but 80% of tit shock is still tit shock.
You know I wonder how long till Buckaress reaches head sized for her assets.
Look again. She’s already passed that point.
She’s almost there but not quite.

“Vigilante License”, as a concept, is making my brain hurt.

It’s an oxymoron. Vigilantes by definition have no legal authority, so if you started licensing them, they would no longer be vigilantes.
But the bad guys aren’t intimidated by “Licensed civilian investigator and security person”.
Gravatar!
Ever since Marvel did the first Civil War, it’s been a thing in universe. They don’t call it that.
You’re quite right.
How can she have legally authorised documentation to prove that she is operating without legal authority?
Maybe it’s just a recognized form of ID to help keep superheroes organized, even if they don’t have any more legal authority than performing a citizen’s arrest (which any citizen can already do). The guard might also have accepted a driver’s license.

“Innsmouth Asylum”.
I see what you did there :D
The guard looks like he was stereotypically scratching his head prior to panel 2, and hasn’t replaced his hat.
Well, the alternative to a vigilante license being recognized in Shitropolis is that she’s just bluffing him.
