    Real-Life Superhero of the Day: Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Some random dude from Seattle, apparently.

    22-year-old “real-life superhero” Phoenix Jones, leader of the Rain City Superhero Movement, roams the streets of the Emerald City clad in a “skin-tight, rubber, black-and-gold suit” fortified with a bullet-proof vest, stab plates, and a “ballistic cup.”

    While at least one man credits Phoenix Jones with scaring away a wouldbe carjacker, others say the crime was staged, and local police could not confirm that anything actually happened, adding that KIRO 7 Eyewitness News may have been “punked.”

    I hope this story wasn’t made up. I really do.
