-The only people I can imagine attacking him would be either criminals or if caught doing something huntsman. Former the scaring trick would work on but the latter not so much.

-With the people knowing thing, I was thinking more along the lines of government tracking payments but lack of knowledge on government systems in Remnant explain the point away.

-Steal the dust how? Im not sure dust shops would be sufficient enough to provide the dust needed to power it for an wxtended period of times and I doubt from the sounds of such a character that he could take on a train shipment.

-A laser knife would be more practical but less intimadating, a superheated butchers or other big scary knife would work but be less discreet. -No problem. That's pretty much my idea for a thermal lance anyway. Superheated tip that can open to reveal a small cylinder from which the Fire Dust would be Supershot.

-Well, it's expected for it to not work as much on Hunters. But then again, it's also part of the point. It's like using guns in Metropolis; all fine and dandy, very effective, but once Superman arrives they're kinda useless against someone like him.

-In fiction, the government's uselessness is amplified as well. Otherwise, many works wouldn't be.

-Enters with a mask, asks for the Dust, if the shopper resists he pulls the laser knife to threaten them. If they resists too much, comes torture if not death. It doesn't need to be "enough". It's not like he'll have it On at all times. Just using it for a few seconds at a time is enough.

-Laser scalpel (however it's spelled) then?
