The Equalizer
Balances the scales
The Equalizer is a vigilante character who uses specialized skills to help ordinary people facing powerful adversaries—someone who levels the playing field.
Originating as a 1980s television series and later films, the name has become shorthand for anyone who intervenes to balance an unfair situation: When the landlord tried to evict us illegally, my lawyer became our equalizer.
