Real Life Superhero

Sandman138 · 08-20-2007, 10:05 PM

They have been popping up all over the place. Indianapolis, New York, Mexico City... all are now patrolled by men and women in masks and capes looking for crime to fight and wrongs to right. Now what has to be the most interesting subculture ever is getting a documentary, and it looks awesome.

I hope they aren't really fighting crime. From just the pictures i've seen they could all be beaten up by children. They have no chance.

Maybe if you're lucky you'll get to see one get his ass kicked on film.

I cant wait till some nut goes out claiming to be a supervillain and kills someone one of these people cares about...

You don't know about Terrifica? She tries to save drunk girls from having sex with losers. She now has an arch nemesis who calls himself Fantastico who makes it his mission to **** drunk girls.

Best quote ever: "I do this because women are weak. They are easily manipulated, and they need to be protected from themselves and most certainly from men and their ill intentions toward them."

Hadn't really thought about it again until this came up.

Nah, they make up their own characters.

No powers, obviously. Otherwise they wouldn't be very "real life."
