What The #$%^--Reals

Everyone who loves superheroes should read this immediately.

I'm not sure what your reaction will be, because I'm still not sure what my reaction is.

But it should be read.

Oh, and if you're a super-villain, don't plan any vacations to the spots on this map.

So the guy does volunteer work and help out people and stuff...but he does it while wearing a costume?? What, he can't do all those things with his face uncovered?

His heart's in the right place but, c'mon! Millions of people around the world help others without pretending their superheroes.

I don't know. He reminds me of this one guy I used to know at school who just took Dungeons & Dragons way too seriously. He was by all accounts a nice person but he just refused to switch off his obsession, letting it rule his life 24/7.

And I don't think these 'superheroes' will last a minute against a determined bad guy with a handgun.

Erm...second paragraph...that should be: they are superheroes not their.

BY MOST OBSERVERS' RECKONING, between 150 and 200 real-life superheroes, or "Reals" as some call themselves, operate in the United States, with another 50 or so donning the cowl internationally.

If that isn't the basis for a rockin' mini-series, i don't know what is...Someone is going from town to town, executing the reals...who? why? Someone call Quesada, I've gotta story to pitch!!
