Browsing the Web, I discovered something rather unique that I'm sure everyone has wondered about the existaence of at some point or other.
Are there real superheros? Do people really put on capes and masks in this day and age, trying to make a difference one criminal at a time?
Well the answer is a definitive: YES. There is, in fact, a world superhero registry that can be accessed and updated through the click of a mouse. Several years ago, the World Superhero Registry began promoting real-life superheroes, helping them stick their feet in the door of the public's awareness and helping to generate the apparently flourishing superhero community that exists to this very day.
But how can a bunch of people go around and stop crime while adhering to the laws themselves. This isn't a comic book, the real-world laws still apply. Usually, being a real-life superhero can vary in diffculty from place to place. Citizen'z arrest statues are different from state to state. Some states even ban the wearing of a mask. Before anyone thinks about putting on a cape and joining this registry, they must first consult the laws of their state and adjust their own unique style of crime-fighting in order to comply with them.
Some real-life superheroes are even sanctioned by their local law enforcement, while others are constantly attempting to stay one step ahead of the police to avoid arrest. It's a hard-knock life for a real-life masked vigilante.
There are a variety of resources available to the real-life superhero at the World Superhero Registry's Web site, ranging from legal advice to Hero support (freelance servicers contructing masks, gadgets, gear, etc.).
Some of these real-life superheroes have banded together to form groups in certain parts of the country: The Great Lakes Heroes Guild based in Minnesota and Michigan, Utah's Black Monday Society, and The Moonlight Club stationed in the American Southwest, among others.
Several of these heroes can be contacted through their MySpace or E-mail, some of these groups even have their own Web page.
So, if you're ever wandering the streets at night, look up at the top of a building, or down a shadowy alley, there may be a caped crusader stalking the streets, protecting the citizens whenever and wherever they can.
