Real-life crime crusaders?
April 30, 2009My favorite comic superheroes are Batman and Iron Man.
Fans of Iron Man might tell you that for Tony Stark, the suit is just an extension of his large ego. Batmaniacs will tell you that for the dark knight, Bruce Wayne is the caped crusader's mask.
Ever wonder if there are folks like our favorite pulp superheroes? Are there real masked crusaders around us? Apparently yes.
I am a little late to this party, considering that magazine articles and local news stations have already done reports on them, but it is interesting nevertheless.
These caped crusaders (mask and all) make their do gooding in Cincinnati, OH, mostly in broad daylight! And they even have their own sort of Justice Guild, which extends to other states in the nation.
Don't believe me? Watch this.
Now, I remember wanting to be superhero as a kid. And while I don't have the stats to prove it, you all know that almost every kid puts on a cape at least once in their lifetime. But I must say, these guys are at the least impressive in their resolve to do this as grownups and to actually carry out these acts in a dedicated fashion.
Who knows? Perhaps more of us should don on masks and set out to do more good deeds. Or are the masks even necessary?
