I’ve decided to do you the favor of breaking down the phenom that is “Real Life SuperHeroes”*Act grateful.If you pay any attention to what comes out of my face, you know how much I adore comics.  Everything from Batman (gray suit, please) and the X-Men to stuff that only a handful of people I know have ever heard of (Whattup, Jake and Jody).That being said… I’m a “cool” nerd. Yes, like most groups on this planet, divide and
conquer is the order of the day. Dorkiness comes in levels.Level 1- Rosario Dawson
Shocked? You have every reason to be. But, that’s what places the level-oner squarely atop the nerd pile. Here is a women that does not look like she knows where the comic store is. Known for playing strong, sexy female leads, her cred was in place long before Sin City or The Bad Clerks Movie. Dawson’s been into the funny books since her pre-booby days. Non-Famous level ones are the popular kid that, while never a bully, never really takes the time to buddy up to you. Unless, of course, they happen to spot that Love and Rockets graphic novel in your hands whilst in line for the soon to be ranch covered cafeteria pizza.
No matter how awesome you might think you are, you will never be Rosario Dawson awesome. Because while you’re reading this, she’s off somewhere being a super hot chick.
And if you really need me to do the math on that one for you, have fun with puberty.

Nick Cage may have qualified for this status, had he not

1. named his kid “Kal-El”

2. married Jacko’s sloppy seconds

or

3. managed to suck at everything that wasn’t “being a Coppola”.

To be fair, he did honor Power Man with his choice of stage name. So, there’s one cool point, I guess.

Sweet Christmas,  indeed.

Level 2- Kevin Smith

The funny kid that wears his dorkiness on his XXL sleeve. Possibly too cool for you and your friend, he is still a normal, well adjusted guy. His fans, on the other hand…

Which brings us to…

Level 3- Dj Qualls

I don’t know what kind of books he reads, and I don’t fucking care. If you can look at this guy and doubt for a second that not only does he KNOW where the comic shop is, he also knows what shifts the chick with the pink hair works and that she rolled a hot night elf named Chan’dy’ie in WOW…you’re probably the same Hollywood exec whom dared to ask the question “If we give this plucky- er um- sleepy kid a trash talking Black sidekick, could his star power be enough to net us some box office gold”?

Hint: The answer is “no”.

So… we can all agree that anyone who thinks they can do this shit on the reals has both feet firmly planted in the last category, right? Time to bring on the… um… fuck, I got nothin’.

Coming from one of the most dangerous cities in nation, we have Captain Prospect!

Ok, if I’m in the middle of being rape-raped in our nation’s capitol, I don’t know that I’m trusting the older, uglier Michael Cera to rescue my vagina from peril… I don’t care HOW well he can chuck a frozen bananarang.

From Mountain View California (an intimidating city name if ever I heard one) The Eye!

The Eye certainly looks like he sees everything… I’m guessing mostly girls at the mall.

From afar.

Last but not least in my heart, from Portland, the Pacific Northwest’s own…

Zetaman!

Oh, Jesus, oh Christ, really?

Ok ok ok, that’s enough of that. There are many many many others, but dammit, I can stomach no more.

If you have Bruce Wayne money, Bruce Wayne resources and Bruce Wayne ninja skills, by all means, fight you some crime.

But if the other squad you align yourself with starts with the word “Geek”… second thoughts is such a good thing sometimes. Seriously, do you want your mom to have to lift your makeshift cowl in order to identify your remains?

“Yes, officer… that’s my Ryan… what’s this lying next to him?”

“We have that down as 1.) multicolored glass bead set on what appears to be a pewter wizard riding a griffin. We believe he called it his “Mystical Gem of Tyrrak”. You can claim it with the rest of his belongings, but I’d caution against it. You do not want to know where we found that thing…”

Even Chris Guardian (who easily has the most punchable face ever) must have friends, right? Even if he clearly has no shame. This isn’t like being gay, guys… sometimes it’s ok to be a little intolerable. If your dungeon master suddenly starts skipping out on guild meetings because he’s patrolling in the pleather jacket and goggles his sister cast aside at the end of her “Gothic” phase, it may be time for an intervention. Please… the life you save may be your own.

Although it will probably totally be the life of the guy with the suction cups on his hands, holding a homemade grappling hook.

 

 

… come the fuck on, now.

*Suck it, Marvel

  4. Do you know that I hadn’t even bothered to click the ‘Zetaman’ link in the article? I simply couldn’t believe that could possibly be a real thing. I mean, dude. Seriously. I thought maybe the picture was just some dope that cosplays. Sort of like a furry, but one small step less hell-bound.

    But then you just had to post a comment, and I said, ‘wow. What sort of dope would -claim- that.’ I hoped against hope that it was simply one of my co-authors being dickheads. (Hard to believe, but it does happen from time to time.)

    And I clicked on your name.

    And I learned the truth.

    As much as it pains me to say this, furries are no longer the first seed in the ladder tournament of stupid.

    Totally my fault for responding. Oh well, it’s just the internet. There are millions and millions of sites out there. In any case, if these critics are so hardcore, why can’t they make a difference and bury us in the ground with their good deeds? Lazy maybe? Easier to talk tough behind a computer. At least I have fans now. Woo Hoo!

    And check this thread out. I think it’s important because I believe we all need to question what we do from time to time to help strengthen what we are hoping to accoplish.

    I’m so glad that you found us, apparently while ego-surfing google for “zetaman real life superheroes”. (I so love my visitor stats).
    The superheroes article was a reader contribution, and frankly I did find humor in it.
    We at RationReality.com find humor in normally mundane bits of popculture, such as Catcher in the Rye, The New Republic, skinhead hate music, and lead poisoning.

    Don’t hate the blogger, kick the dog.

  9. Within a year, this guy (whoever he is) will wrote a positive blog about us. That’s because American people usually change their minds “in tune” with the current big thing. How brave.

    We’re not your average big thing. We’re the future. The “phenomenon” (as you call it) is growing BECAUSE more and more honest and sincere Superheroes are popping up day by day. Guess why?

    Disclaimer: this is not a comic book, but a REAL WORLD. Ergo, we’re not comic book superheroes, but Real Life Superheroes. The big difference lies in the reality we inhabit in. We’re part of that reality.
    “Crimefighting” doesn’t necessarely mean you have to punch someone. That could work in the comic book world. You’re surely fighting the crime even if you patrol (and the most of us already do that) and have the guts to call Police at a given moment. You’re protecting the city.
    We’re all fighting the crime… from a valid, REAL perspective. We’re all accomplishing the task far beyond our own expectations.

    Publicity? No. We’re just showing our true selves… there is MORE concerning the masks and the costumes: they’re not just items designed to cover a civilian/legal identity. Actually, Entomo is a solid “avatar” representing what I AM; it’s my true face. It’s my true body. You’re not seeing an hypocrital masquerade. You’re seeing MYSELF expressed to the nth power.

    We’re the future. We’re setting the difference. In the moment you see me, I’m doing the difference. In the moment I’m performing a good deed, small or big, I’m saving the world.

    We keep up the good work. A blog is irrilevant. Have fun. That’s freedom anyway.

    I, editor in chief of this here rag, am a woman person, and the article was written by another woman person.
    Women, you see, are the opposite of men. You know that part of you that gets all throbby when you see a new purple latex mask up for sell on eBay? Well, that’s the part that makes you a man person. Women people don’t have those. Well, we do kinda, but it’s really really teeny and we can’t pee from it.
    And yeah, probably we’ll have an article about how awesome it is to be a real life super hero. In fact, you should write it.

    I did some grammar mistakes in my previous messages, especially in the first one. It’s just that I was focused on explaining what we are and forgot the rest.

    (In Italian, word is “cinismo”).

    About the article, I will think about it. Okay?

  19. I used to date an emergency services operator in Charlotte. She told me that a guy with a superhero fixation would monitor police band radio and respond to crime scenes, often impeding the police. He must’ve been a lottery winner, because he didn’t have a job, plus he had tons of cash to spend on an Interceptor engine for his vehicle, expensive surveillance gear and shit like that.

    The Mecklenburg county sheriff’s department and Charlotte Metro Police had an court-ordered injunction against him. He violated it and got locked up. Could it be that these Real Life Superheroes might be impeding the real authorities more than helping?

  20. personally I think these “superheroes” are the guys that used to get their asses kicked during dungeon & dragons as a child…

    and if they want to make a difference, without having to sacrifice their full time “superhero” jobs…they should join the auxiliary police force. this way they won’t be interfering/impeding any police investigation because they would be the police…or technically the B squad police…but nonetheless Team America is much much cooler than these bunch of nimwits masquerading as superheroes.

    America…FUCK YEAH!

  21. I got some emails asking why I attacked Zetaman. I didn’t. I defended myself. He poked first, on his forum.
    Although I didn’t write the article, I am responsible for what goes up on this site. I like the article and will not be taking it down.

    For the record, Zetaman apologized to me for dissing our site on his forum. I accept his apology, insomuch as I can considering it really wasn’t necessary to apologise.

    If anyone wishes to write a rebuttal, I will treat it with as much respect as I treat anything else (meaning I likely won’t defecate on it, unless I have the flu or am drunk, or it’s stupid and badly written. Or I got the PMS, or I just really need to poop).

  22. Boe (is that your real name?),

    I think this is somewhat of a standstill. I’m seeing that people are posting more and more silly opinions (not supported by facts) in response to the lame original article. We don’t bother much, frankly. If they choose ignorance, that same ignorance will play as a disadvantage (for them) in the near future.

    I think the debate is really over. Take care of yourself.

    We’ll keep up the good work for everyone, even the sceptics.

    I INJECT JUSTICE.

    P.s: curiously enough, “cynism” is the swedish counterpart to “cynicism”. And it’s ALWAYS a bad word, not included in our vocabulary. We’re here to set the difference. We’re here to save the world. Welcome to the future.

  23. I’m at work right now (grown up people with jobs that don’t dress up, play “hero” and hand out flyers have to worry about paying bills), but I swear you’ll get an indepth response the instant I have more time and brain power to devote to your very admittedly interesting brand of delusion.

  27. So, if you all are so uninterested in publicity, why are you googling your own nom de dork?

    I’ve seen every Batman flick a bajillion times, and I’ve somehow missed the scene where Bruce is late for patrol because he got angry over what some “cynical” internet people had to say on a blog.

    Here’s the deal, guys… if you want to help, GO HELP. Become a Big Brother, do volunteer work, join Americore. Find people who know what needs to get done and help them.

    I work in a courthouse. All day long I am surrounded by people (social workers, parole officers, ect) who have dedicated their lives to getting people on the right track (without the added stress of worring about how to deal with chaffing). It’s moving, it’s inspireing, and the fact that I can assist them in my small way is humbling and an honor.

    But of course, that’s not what this is about for you. You want to put on a costume and pretend that you’re in a comic. I get it. I’m sure it’s fun. And if you would stop hiding behind the pretext of “being the future” or whatever, we would all respect you much more for it. Because, really… no one is buying it.

    Stop thinking of yourselves and think of how you impact those who are ernest about getting the job done. That’s what a child does.

    I know of at least one damsel in distress you can save right now.

    Your mothers. From embarrassment.

  30. I don’t know what “rape-raped” is but I will keep that in mind.

    In response to the guy who said we should just join the police if we want to help, try dressing as an officer and walking down the street and see how people react vs. dressing like us. People are frightened of police most of the time and the minute they appear people generally try to just move out of the way. I am not saying that is justified, just that it is the way things are. We take a different more engaging approach.

  32. Congratulations, Master Legend.
    We may feature you in our next look at stuporheroes.
    I’m glad to hear that you’ve got a letter of commendation. If we’re playing the ’seven degrees’ game, that puts you, what, two steps away from Pres. Bush? (Letter from Kev, then Kev appears with the Pres?)
    I’ll have you know that here at Ration Reality, we’re only THREE steps removed from Will Ferrell. I’m not sure who wins on that score …
    Also, in terms of quantitative analysis, could you please answer my questions HERE about drug interceptions, refugees rescued, drug dealers blown to hell, etc.? It would help me in tracking overall effectiveness of crime fighters.
    As it stands right now, my stats in those regards are probably a little higher than yours …

  35. Entomo,

    Don’t let them get to you, they’re just having a laugh at your expense. If you want to win hearts and minds, concentrate less on your detractors and be the “man in the arena.”

  36. If you will notice, WhatPushesMyButtons suggested joining the police as a better way to go. I was merely pointing out that there are things the police are good at and things they are not so good at. I do go out as a good citizen and try to help people but the problem is that people can’t identify me as someone who is there to help. The superhero costume is something EVERYONE recognizes as an icon. If you tried it you would see the difference.

    Captain Prospect

    July 3, 2007 at 8:32 pm

  37. Prospect, everyone -does- recognize it as an icon, yes.

    But … I’m not positive that you’re really clear on what it’s an icon -of-.

    Jesse Custer

    July 3, 2007 at 8:36 pm

  38. Hey, I’m all for you doing what you do, to the extent that you leave the major stuff to the people who are entrusted by way of official position to handle such matters.

    Two things: Nothing wrong with being observant and willing to step in when someone needs everyday assistance. In fact, more citizens should be willing to lend the proverbial hand to their fellows. In all honesty, the whole “patrol” thing seems to go a bit too far for me. At the risk of sounding condescending, I must (respectfully) ask if you have truly considered the potential danger to yourselves and others if you make the wrong move?

    Secondly, there is a difference between being vigilant and being a vigilante. Being involved in certain incidents (hostage situation, bomb threat, vehicular pursuit, aggressive animal, etc…) might necessitate you to use tools and/or take liberties civilians are not allowed to take.

    As for the costumes, you have to be ready to take some ridicule if you are going to go out in public like that. A society is defined by its norms and bright spandex, viking helmets, etc… are not normal. I deal with the same thing if I dye my hair purple or wear bondage shorts–they might look cool onstage, but at the BP Station after the show, they’re fair game for the old lady behind the register. Call it the price of individuality, Lycra-Man!

    Soylent Ape

    July 3, 2007 at 9:04 pm

  39. Soylent – I know very few Real Life Superheroes who endorse vigilantism. In fact, most of the time we are the ones boosting our local law enforcement. Breaking the law is breaking the law and I can’t think of any RLS who thinks it is their right to take the law into their own hands. As far as ridicule for appearing in spandex tights goes, I am fine with that. Think of it as a litmus test for bravery for your Real Life Superhero.

    Jesse, you say that as if you have an idea of what the superhero icon represents. Perhaps you could enlighten us?

    Captain Prospect

    July 4, 2007 at 12:23 am

  40. @whoever, I’m fucking confused: “problem is that people can’t identify me as someone who is there to help”
    Maybe get a tshirt that says “I’m here to help!” Or just dress nicely and groom yourself well. Noone is going to suspect a man in a sportsjacket and slacks with those creases in the front as a mugger. I’m not saying it’s bad or wrong to dress up as you do, just don’t pretend it’s all for helping people. You dress up because you like it. That isn’t wrong.

    It’s not the costumes that bother me. Bravo on the costumes! Let your freak flag fly, I say. But STOP BEING HYPOCRITES!

    Bagel of Everything

    July 4, 2007 at 12:53 am

  41. Oh boy, here goes….
    Hey guys, I guess I should post, although I might start more crap.
    I should say I have never really stated that I was a superhero really. I have always held that that term should be reserved for our service men and women, our police officers and firefighters. I do not wear what I wear because it helps people. I do it because I do like it. I respect the ideas of the comic superheroes and it’s really the last idea left for me to hold too. I kind of explained it in this link here…
    http://www.blackmondaysociety.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23
    That and its hella fun. Besides some of the drama, when I am out there it’s a blast to meet people and to help them out and talk about what I wear. I do have to say some of the people I have talked to have really talked about their problems and I have made some really cool friends who live on the streets. I has really open my eyes to how people are really people and not just a nameless faces.
    I have also stated on numerous of occasions that I do not fight crime. I really do not want to be shot and there are plenty of other people who are qualified to fight criminals. My cell phone has plenty of numbers to notify the police. I personally focus on doing civil service and things like that. Right now, I have orientation at the local shelter so I can have a few of my friends and I work there once a month. I also try to find other opportunities where I can donate my time. At the same time I try to donate my free cash for charities (I guess in the place of tithing, I do not know. Everything needs money to run).
    However, at no time have I ever stated that I fight crime or that I wear what I wear to identify me as someone to help.
    Again, I am sorry for this mess. I was surprise at I was reference at all and it rather hurt a bit. I usually fall off the radar, so to speak, when it comes to these things. I did lash out on the worldheroics forum, which was wrong, and I should develop a thicker skin when it comes to these kinds of things. And at the same time, I should not be so… open online. I see now how it can be viewed as bragging.

  42. hahaha

    Bagel – the other day, my wife had a flat tire on her way home from work. She was dressed very nicely – she’s in a director-level position at a college. A nice young couple stopped to help her. The first question they asked: ‘You’re not a serial killer, are you?’

    heh

    Now, if only she’d been wearing her Wonder Woman outfit, they wouldn’t have had to ask. Sadly, though … she keeps that shit locked away in the closet for special occasions.

    Like tonight. ‘Cuz I was bad. And I needed to have the whip of justice uncoiled alllllll the fuck over my back.

  47. Nice one, Blake! You know, we at Ration Reality appreciate our loyal readers, but I don’t think I have to consult with the rest of the RR team when I say you should go back to whatever backwater you came from, you fucking ignorant, deleted-chromosome asshole!

    (btw, you must’ve thought you were clever when you left OUR url in the comment. Nice try!)

  48. Bagel if I have done anything that makes me seem like a hypocrite I am genuinely interested in knowing what it was. I suspect you are lumping people (all people calling themselves Real Life Superheroes) into one gategory in your blanket statement though. Please kep in mind that this is completely unfair.

  49. I’m impressed by the so-called ‘Hurricane Sluttina’. The others are nice guys (and girls) trying to “explore” our world (even if their approach at the beginning was a bit too confusing)but she is… well, she seems a terrible person. I think life in a courthouse must be very hard in order to turn such a beautiful girl into a cynical monster with a paranoid state of mind.

    Go for it, Sluttina. You’re saving the world (… ?).

    (wink).
