Thank you for your responses, guys. So far, I've published two parts in the story involving the supervillain, who hasn't come out yet, so that i can build character out of the consequences the supervillain makes. Since this is a debate, I shall respond to your cons regarding the topic. I'm not much of a fighter, since this is my first time doing an original story, except the M01 - Super Mario Bros.

Wait so his Parents get murdered and then he literally kills every prisoner who escapes from prison?
What’s his reason to just brutally murder them? This makes him look like a serial killer and not a supervillain, b cause that is not really protecting innocents.
That's the whole point of his "crusade". The answers are already provided in my blog. Someone who's escaped from prison to kill Bert's parents (it's not out of nowhere or personal. it's best u know about Bert's backstory which i havent happen to write yet). Criminals escape to continue killing lives, whether intentional or not.

"I lost my parents so now I will make sure that countless other families also lose relatives to murder"
Not a very smart guy, that. I feel like all it takes is someone saying "ummm those guys have families too yknow and by now you murdered more than they have" for him to come to his senses. Or be arrested. Either way. Maybe once he leaves prison he won't get murdered by a short-sighted doofus.
Prison is the post-judgment place. The families of criminals have heard everything (in court) the criminal had done before the criminal goes to prison. Their families reacted enough and they have nothing to do with it. The criminal will be either disowned, avenged, etc. If someone happens to love the criminal so much in a romantic or sibling or child way and goes to revenge, Bert does have some trouble.

I think something along the lines of "People think my parents were criminals when they really weren't so I'm going to frame all parents for murder" would kind of be more logical.
Probably similar to what Enjl posted, probably. Bert acts as a vigilante executioner, not someone who frames anybody else. He just keeps watch the prison, if a prisoner tries to escape, Bert catches and kills them.
