Real-life Superheroes

A Wikipedia article with great links to the individual superheroes' websites has brought to my attention the greatest trend since the urban tribe: real-life superheroes.

Yes, these are real people who dress up in capes and assume a new identity to fight crime. Or one-night stands. Or Denver boots.

Pictured above is Terrifica. Her Metropolis: New York City. Her mission: To protect lonely, drunk "women from both themselves and predators who would prey upon their weaknesses." Her arch-nemesis: A Lothario who calls himself Fantastico from whose velvety arms Terrifica has persuaded several inebriated women. Ironic dark-comicbook twist to her relationship with Fantastico: Once, years ago, Terrifica's alterego, Sarah, was seduced by Fantastico; he doesn't remember her specifically.

I'm so happy!
