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.
Quote: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."

Reminds me of that show about people who dress up and help people or try to fight crime.

Thats just stupid. Seriously, why doesn't he just become a cop that way he doesn't have to walk around in his faggot suit but still have no right to stop people.

How is this stupid? People look the other way to obvious bad things and do nothing.
Everyone has done it, I've done it and you feel like you should have done something to help the victi.m.
At least he has the guts to stick up to the shit out there in this world.
Cheers

You actually do have a right to stop criminals. It is called "citizens arrest".

I find this quite funny. But seriously, good on him for helping his city and stopping crime.

This is just like Kick Ass LOL, Maybe the so called "Super Hero" has been taking some Hallucinogenic Drugs and thinks that he is Invincible or something he should stop or he is going to get Shot or Stabbed Lol

This story is kinda sad.. lol
I don't think a real criminal is scared of a dude walking in his pyjamas.

I think he may have a bit of money...how much is a bullet/stab proof vest?
Couldn't be cheap!
