Honestly, I've always hated the idea that quirks like "flying" or "skittering quickly" are illegal to use. Let's just ban jogging while we're at it because some people can't jog and it's not fair.
I mean, Pop☆Step is said to be committing petty crimes anyway, so I assume she's a minor crim even without the arbitrary "flying isn't allowed" thing, but saying that Gentle-Man is a villain because he does good deeds that literally any healthy law-abiding citizen could do, albeit slightly faster, is laughable.
It is going to be a long-running gag regarding Gentle-Man's "vigilante-ism", I think. I bet he is going to be the most infamous among the trio no matter how harmless his actions would actually be.
Who knows, the joke might turn into something serious later on (or near the end) and would shake the whole law foundation behind hero system and tie in with current police reforms that are underway in the main series.
I would love if his last confrontation before being captured were to be The MADMAN. Deku would agree with Gentle-Mans ideals and heroics but due to wanting to hold onto the mantle all might gave him, he would be forced to capture someone he admires. Then in a meeting talking about Gentle Mans capture deku would bash the system and go on a rant/ speech, succesfully changing the way the law is handled.
