    Default Real-Life Superhero Fights Crime In US City

    A real-life Superhero dressed in tights, a mask and a black and gold lycra suit, says he is helping to make the streets of Seattle safer by scaring away criminals.




    The man, called Phoenix Jones, wears a bullet proof vest, and also has stab protection as well as being armed with a taser and tear gas.
    He says when he walks into an area, criminals leave because they see the suit and do not want to take him on.

    It is almost a case of Superman meets Batman as on most nights Phoenix walks into a comic store, enters a back room hidden behind shelves and is transformed into his character.

    He has already managed to stop a man breaking into a car and possibly stealing it.
    The would-be victim, known as Dan, was walking back to his vehicle in a car park when he saw a man with a metal strip trying to open his car.
    Dan said: "He started sticking it down between the window and the rubber strip."

    Dan began to call 911, but said help arrived before he even finished dialling.
    He explained: "From the right, this guy comes dashing in, wearing this skin-tight rubber, black and gold suit, and starts chasing him away."
    Phoenix is not the only costume-clad crime-fighter in Seattle.

    There are eight other members of his Rain City Superhero group who also walk the streets, looking out for crime and prepared to fight it.

    Since Phoenix started his crusade nine months ago, he has been stabbed and was threatened with a gun several times, but received no serious injuries.

    Unfortunately, he did not find the man who was breaking into Dan's car.
    He told CBS: "When I walk into a neighbourhood, criminals leave because they see the suit.

    "I symbolise that the average person doesn't have to walk around and see bad things and do nothing."

    Taken from: HERE

    One comment made me laught was "I just phoned the Comic book store ,asked to speak to Pheonix they said Cecile will be in work later,call back about 4".

    So much for hiden identity LOL

    yeah that what pretty much my first thought too, hes gonna stumble across someone or a gang who aint gonna give shit how tight his tights are and then proceed to beat the living shit out of him
    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    he must do more than turn up and chase 'the baddies' off, his costume is barly above good fancy dress standard and its qualitys are impressive, but its not going to stop some thug from knocking his head off.Even if he was some super trained Muhammad I'm hard Bruce Lee, he's got no chance.

    Bad case of KickAss envy. Is it me or does that article just constantly repeat bits of itself?

    I'm thinking real life SuperAsshole, not Superhero.

    Wasn't there some squad of vigilante crimefighters that patroled the trains and stations about 10 years ago. I wonder what happened to them.
