The "suicide" of the Ford driver impacted the 01 guerillas significantly.
To help Edward, they had voluntarily stepped forward, attacking Black Nest's CTOS Project to uphold justice and protect internet freedom. They were certainly not inspired by superheroes and were simply an ordinary group of people at best.
