You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.quote:Ben Fodor’s alter ego, Phoenix Jones, was the leader of the city’s Rain City Superhero Movement and would don a black and gold costume — with a mask and fake six-pack abs — and insert himself into incidents of street violence, once dousing a group of people with pepper spray to break up a fight Seattle police later said wasn’t a fight at all.

Who would have suspected that a man walking around dressed like a cartoon and fighting people would be involved with hard drugs?

Obviously Captain Nashville is framing Jones with the help of an evil clone.

Maybe that's how he gets his powers. Like how when I do Meth I gain the ability to summon all local emergency responders.

It's like nazis and zombies. Let them eat each other, absolutely nothing could go wrong! next year, in collaboration with Disney, police force releases their own version of funny dressed dorks who are also cops and carry lethal weapons!

I love the idea of him stopping assaults by saying "hey, don't fight them, fight me instead, it's mutual combat so it's legal" until the police arrive. I liked the ones who just fed the homeless and gave free rides home to drunk people better though. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Apr 5, 2020 |

I mean I completely agree that Phoenix Jones was a "real" superhero unlike the others who were simply charity workers who wore costumes. That said, it is easy to see why being a real-life superhero can be a problem. Phoenix also clearly had a huge ego and seemed very unstable. Threatening to kill someone over dating his ex and all. Also the person who left the Rain City Movement saying that Phoenix essentially just walks around aggroing drunk people to fight him is just lol. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 5, 2020 |

I bet you he didn't lift a finger to help anyone unless there was a camera watching him do it. There's nothing heroic about that at all. The other folks may be doing glorified charity work in a costume, but they're doing it for charity, not for themselves.
