Real Life superheroes Press Release
Superheroes have been a part of American culture since the late 1930's. From Superman to Spiderman,
superheroes have filled the hearts and minds of children and adults alike with feelings of awe and inspiration.
Over the past several years, superheroes have become more than just characters in comic books.
Conscientious citizens are creating their own superhero personas, putting on costumes, and going out to make
their communities a better place. They call themselves Real Life Superheroes.
Real Life Superheroes is a grassroots movement of people who create a superhero identity and work in a fun,
exciting, and inspirational fashion to make the world a better place. They are using the iconic essence of comic book superheroes to make a difference, inspire others, spread a positive message, and call attention to issues in their communities. They are making an impact by doing civic activities, public safety patrols, crime fighting, charity work, school talks, hospital visits, helping the needy, and more acts to serve society. They are breaking the comic book barrier and bringing the ideals of superheroes into the real world. . Real Life
Superheroes create living positive role models which our children are in need of. The concept of a superhero,
an individual who aspires to a higher moral code which benefits society, has a psychological impact on children, both appealing to their sense of fun as well as teach them important values.
With names like Dark Guardian, Zetaman, and Citizen Prime, Real Life Superheroes have been out patrolling our
streets, helping the needy, assisting in crime prevention, and inspiring others for many years now. It is a
growing movement where more and more people are creating their own superhero personas and taking to the
streets to make a difference.
Real Life Superheroes believe there is a hero in everyone and if we can tap into that and help people find the
hero in themselves we could live in a much better place. They hope through their actions they can inspire
others to go out and be a little more super themselves.
Real Life Superheroes have an online headquarters www.RealLifeSuperheroes.org . If you ever need help you do not need a bat signal. You can find a listing of heroes, where they are from, and a way to contact them. The site has all the information you need on real life superheroes plus ways you can be a hero, articles, a forum and much more. A non profit organization is even being formed by real life superheroes called Superheroes Anonymous www.superheroesanonymous.com.
Real Life Superheroes are out there saving the world one person at a time.

If I was going to wear a costume in public first I'd want to be in the best shape of my life and second I'd want to have taken karate for a while just in case somebody had something to say about it.
Give em a big judo chop on the head.

No, real-life heroes are:
1.Soliders; they spend there 2-4 years in war, just to protect us from the dangers in the other countries. And it's not just us.
2.Firefighters; Take out fires, and save people from dying in the fires.
3.Police; proctect our everyday criminal.
4.Doctors/Nurses; Save, or try to save us from actual diseases.
There are more.
You can't just dress up in a comic book hero and try to fight off crime.
First off, you'll need a lot of skills to actually look like the hero.
You can't just say like you dress up as a hero, and try to stop a bunch of thugs; which happen to have guns. Are you going to actually going to try and stop them? They're going to laugh and shoot.
Oh:
5.Ordinary people; protect there childern from the people out there, and drugs, alcohol, and tobbacco.
Just by doing that your somewhat a hero.

I'm in the military I understand you don't just put on a suit and go out to fight crime.
These guys do alot of community service/charity type work also and even to dress up as a superhero and do that would be kind of interesting.
I think we know the difference between real heroes and superheroes but its nice to see some people out there bridging the gap and trying to make a difference.

Not to take away from firefighters and the military, but it is at least humanly possible for a man that's studied the martial arts for years and has lots of money to fight crime in a costume.

He'd probably need a really fast ride too. Maybe something that acts almost like a tank.

He's different.
He runs his own show as a cop chasin' down thugs.
So he where's some silly costume and says he's a bounty hunter. He's a cop.

Here something I found on web, Ideal for would be superheroes.
"It was a Dark Knight for the owner of an imitation Batmobile after the vehicle failed to sell at auction.
Mark Perkins' car is a close replica of the original one used in the classic 1960s Batman TV series, and comes with dashboard-mounted TV, rear parachute pod, bat phone and black-and-red livery.
Most importantly for would-be caped crusaders, the car is mechanically sound and has a valid MoT certificate and registration document, making it road legal.
But there were not enough would-be superheroes at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, and the super-vehicle failed to reach its reserve price of £40,000.
Property developer and car enthusiast Mr Perkins, from Ascot, Berkshire, said he would now take the vehicle home and continue donating it to exhibitions across the country.
"We just didn't have enough interest," he said. "No one really knew it was there, and so the passers-by were interested but not prepared to pay. We had bids of up to about £38,000 but it didn't quite match the reserve. I'm a bit disappointed, but it's not the end of the world."
Mr Perkins, 46, said the 7.5-litre V8 engine gives the Batmobile plenty of power.
"Definitely enough to keep up with the Joker," he said. "It's quite a nice drive, but you get some funny looks and it causes chaos whenever you park it."
