Phoenix Jones, Guardian of Seattle

Last Sunday, an attempted car theft in Seattle was thwarted by a super-hero, and when I say “a super-hero,” I don’t mean that in the sense that, as Superman says, we can all be super-heroes if we do the right thing and care about each other. I mean a dude in a bulletproof costume with a codename and a secret identity.

    “… some members of the Real Life Super-Hero community have claimed…”

    Wait, there’s a Real Life Super-Hero community, and it’s not a euphemism for firefighters or police officers? How do I join? Do I need a superpower, or just an outfit?

    What’s your origin story?

  10. Casey on January 6th, 2011 at 12:34 pm

    I’ll need to work on that too. My parents met at a bar, one thing led to another… also the beer was radioactive.

    As a child, I accidentally fell into a vat of radioactive sarcasm.

    I was born ten thousand years ago
    And there’s nothing in this world that I don’t know
    I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring-around-the-roses
    And I can lick the guy that says it isn’t so

    This reminds me of something…

    Oh goodness.
