Plot happens.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Much like [[Film/SpiderManHomecoming a certain other aspiring superhero,]] Trish finds that patrolling the streets looking for crimes to foil may be a time-honoured approach in the comics, but it doesn't work so well in the more realistic MCU - major crimes don't normally happen out in the open, and the ones that do quickly attract the regular police.
** The "beat up the criminals" approach of vigilantism common in superhero comics doesn't translate well to reality, as Trish finds out when a mugger she stops [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished promptly sues her for assault]].
** Turns out, well-known public figures are likely to be recognized if they go around doing superhero work without a SecretIdentity. Both the mugger Trish stops and his victim instantly recognize her on sight, making it easier for the mugger to identify her for a lawsuit.
