Well played seattle, well played (super hero praise)

seforin

As many of you know, or who knew me personal in seattle you knew about my feelings towards the place (though not to be mistaken with the awesome friends I have there) I never much did "click " into the seattle lifestyle. Which in turn ended in my eventual exile of the greater state of the north west. And me and seattle havent exactly been on speaking terms ever since.


but this

this has earned my respect today.

Wonder if they were inspired by Kick-Ass, or, less likely, Only Fools and Horses:

ebagg

Haha good ol Lynnhood needs a hero, while he's inspired by Kickass, I'll be inspired by Batman!

well coming from a place that had real shoot outs and crime (miami) I dont see this guy surviving in any sort of places like new york, miami, chicago or hell even jersey, for more then 20 minutes before getting shot in the head.

But still its funny to dream and see someone out on "patrol"

Im waiting for a legion of doom to spring up.

SnowInChina

maybe now we get some real villains like the joker too

Heh yea Seattle and you didn't click at all. To be fair to Seattle, you lived in issaquahahaaahaa... its closer to the ski lifts than to downtown anything. Doing anything in issaquah after the sun sets at 4-4:30pm will probably end in you being mauled by a cougar... and not the wrinkly spray on tan cougars they have in Miami, heh.

There isn't much to click with, its a one horse town with a creek and a dairy plant. To get to anything resembling fun you had to pass through the wasteland of the eastside where fun goes to die, and down into Seattle even then you're more likely to trip over hobos than to have a good time.

So yea how do you have fun in this sunless state? You stay in and play games or make em... Or take off for TX, heh.

About this superhero guy, as soon as his rep gets around, he'll get jumped and if he's lucky end up in Harbor View for a few months. I remember reading about another guy in some Midwest town that was doing the same thing, only he walked around during the day handing out business cards or some stupid thing.

Hahaha just found this: http://www.worldsuperheroregistry.com/world_superhero_registry_maine.htm

I'm surprised nobody is getting into his bulletproof stabproof, tazer proof armour suit to rob places.

That's what I would do.... I mean uhhh.. that's what some criminal mastermind might consder doing.

They pretty much gave his identity away with the comic shop. Just find that one near Lynnwood and look for a black guy with a goate that hangs out there. Bam. No secret identity.

I would pay him good money to chase off the emo teenage rich kids of the Alderwood Mall.

Mark Dygert

No not chase off... torture with his cattle prod. Nothing says "emo stay away" like the charred outline of scorched ball prints on the sidewalk.

seforin

*In batman voice*

Hero guy: LEAVE THIS MALL !

*emokid* , I swear to god I wont come...


Hero guy: SWEAR TO ME! *tasers emo kid*

Bigjohn

Are there Supervillains yet?

gsokol

That's why you shouldn't get caught by the police!

oXYnary

Not cool. Not cool at all.

Getting arrested for using pepper spray on a group of people has at least temporarily cost self-proclaimed Seattle superhero Phoenix Jones his day job helping autistic children.
