Sorry, my memory has tricked me. In the "Arqueiro Misterioso"
story, Rosinha doesn't act like a villain to demonstrate anything
to Carioca's nephews; the correct reason is that when the nephews
preferred to dress other heroes' costumes for a party instead
of Green Bat's costumes, Carioca realizes his hero identity
isn't sucessful even among the children and gets very disappointed.
Then Rosinha creates that bowman villain just to fight-and-loose
to cheer him up.
(That's love, isn't it? :)
