Motto for a Superhero

Euripides, fragment 692 (from the satyr play Syleus, describing Hercules; tr. Christopher Collard and Martin Cropp):
Just towards those who are just, but to those who are bad, the greatest of all their enemies on earth.

τοῖς μὲν δικαίοις ἔνδικος, τοῖς δ' αὖ κακοῖς
πάντων μέγιστος πολέμιος κατὰ χθόνα.
