The quote above is from The Daily Bugle, Marvel's most used fictional New York newspaper. Events in part one of a new arc for Deathlok take place on the streets of Coney Island, Brooklyn. The 'creature' referred to is him.
Even if his presence on the streets hadn't been reported on page one of the tabloid, his appearance would be a dead giveaway, even from afar. To maintain anonymity he moves in the shadows, incognito, in a long coat and hat.
For the average citizen the streets of Coney Island are dangerous after dark. But for the cybernetically enhanced anti-hero it's an opportunity to do some good, to use his skills to protect the innocent from the aggressors.
Once again, a resemblance to how Todd McFarlane's Spawn would develop is unmistakable. It's possible that some ideas were 'borrowed' from Deathlok's evolution.
