I believe the "super" in "super hero" refers to super powers, which Jones lacks. Also, vigilantes typically break the law, whereas Jones does not. In the videos I've seen, Jones is usually taking advantage of Washington's "mutual combat" law and challenging wrong doers to a fight. Then, he takes advantage of the fact that he is/was a professional MMA fighter and his opponent is a drunk jerk.

Or maybe a bunch of actual researchers and government agencies working without praise while someone else writes a sensational story to take all of the credit. And the people believe it on the merits of it being the story they want to be true.

So here can consult all the old issue of Marvel and DC for a compendium of moral dilemmas and result.
