Yeah...so this isn't a joke at all. In recent news from Seattle, Washington wearing capes and fighting crime with a group of comic book nerds seems to be the new trend. They call themselves 'The Rain City Superheroes' and the masked crusader pictured above is Phoenix Jones (who possess an alias that would be better suited for a pornstar than a superhero) who leads the band of nine self-proclaimed superheroes who have been patrolling Seattle just about every night for the past few months doing their best to keep morale high by combating the city's criminal elements.
Apparently since becoming a part-time superhero (I'd hate to imagine what this guy's other jobs may be...) he claims to have come up against some of Seattle's fiercest skinheads with brass knuckles....disarmed people using screwdrivers as weapons...chased down a man firing a gun in the air...and more importantly, stopped a fight between two homeless men. In my eyes, its only a matter of time before these guys get their asses kicked - not even joking. Although this stuff may seem fun and comic book like...I know for a fact this shit would not fly in Dallas, Columbus, Los Angeles or any major city for that matter. Its only a matter of time...
