Who would have thought dressing up in a rubber suit and getting stabbed by crackheads did nothing about the growing opioid epidemic, gang violence, organized crime, or gun violence

Does anyone else want to see this guy take on organized crime or is it just me

Why haven't they made a movie about this guy yet?
I want to see what this guy does with real funding

No, I do not want to see a beloved hero die.

No. Just no. They really do have the occasional confrontation. When you’re not taking down alien motherships, you have a lot more time on your hands, hence the outreach.

Think you're projecting there, sonny

Watching a Batman movie doesn't make me want to put on a pair of tights and go look for a mugging to stop because real life doesn't work like that. Phoenix Jones is the closest thing we have to a "real life superhero" and he's barely done anything.

>barely done anything

still guarded by military personnel
how exactly do you plan on killing or subduing everybody in the base who has a gun? once you do, how are you going to get the nuclear warhead out? chances are its pretty heavy, and probably attached to a missile as well (unless they don't attach them to the missiles until they're ready to launch, I can't remember). do you know how to disassemble a nuclear missile and remove the warhead safely? how are you going to transport the warhead away from the base without getting caught on your way out? every law enforcement agency, as well as the national guard, are going to be looking for you.
you can't steal a warhead user, it's impossible. just learn chemistry and make nerve gas.

It's just as ridiculous to try to be a contrarian irl JJ Jameson saying someone voluntarily using their skills to help people is somehow bad

If they truly wanted to devote their lives to helping people they would have become a police fighter, EMS worker, firefighter, or a number of any other legitimate occupations for helping people. You could even start some sort of neighborhood watch if you just wanted to do something to help out your community. It's just vanity, pure and simple.

Nice bait. I wasn't sure if you were legitimately like this or just trying to be a contrarian but your reading comprehension seems to suggest the latter.

What has he done other than stop a handful of minor felonies over the years?

Superheroes aren't real and trying to live out your comic book fantasies in real life is one of the most autistic things a person can do.

wew lad, that's not the point. The guy's inspired a ton of people by the fact some retard is willing to put on a costume and actually try to use his skills to do something insanely cool. People see that fuck and have some faith in humanity.

No need for greentext, this is our brave new world

this, batman is basically larping if we follow that logic

It's the same shit as benefactors only doing charity for photo-shoots and esteem, it's incredibly disingenuous

People have tried to explain to you why you're wrong, you're just being a bitch for the sake of it now.

They're fucking movies user, they're not real. RDJ isn't a superhero.

Well yes, there's been many comic stories hammering in the fact that Batman is ultimately a boy in a man's body playing cops and robbers in his pajamas.

Yeah, couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for agreeing with my point.

All I've seen is a bunch of autsits screeching at me because I said their comic books aren't real.

What point? They're not actually doing anything because superheroes don't exist outside of fiction. You don't see Batman doing photo-shoots or interviews in his story, do you? It's pure attention seeking.

bloody hell you're daft. I give up.

Regular joes have actually wandered into nuclear weapons silos. Our security on some of them is comically bad; there have been articles written about it. If someone seriously wanted to break in they'd get alarmingly far before anyone stopped them.

There was already a self-indulgent hipster fedora tipping supervillain for him named Rex Velvet.

These "real life superheroes" are WAY too self-conscious about the superhero thing.
You don't call yourself a "real life hero" if you are one.
Much closer to our world's version of superheroes would be bounty hunters (Dog the Bounty Hunter would have definitely counted since he had a superhero name and everything), or those people who murder drug dealers in countries like the Philippines. Or that White Death sniper guy during WWII (or Red Baron now that I'm think of war examples).
And as far as supervillains go our world had plenty of those e.g.
>The Unabomber
>The Manson Family
>Pogo the Clown (yeah, I know he probably didn't dress up as a clown for the rapes and murders most of the time, but I'm doing the best with what we have here, and the fact he did go around performing as a clown is enough for me)
>Zodiac Killer
>BTK
>The Merry Pranksters
>ISIS
>Guccifer
>Vlad the Impaler
>General Butt Naked
>The Branch Davidians
>Aum Shinrikyo

No there wasn't. That was just a guy who did a couple poorly made youtube comedy videos.

Capeshit is a brain infection

I couldn't disagree with you more. bounty hunters amount to repo men only they are working for the state instead of a private entity. There is nothing

His fucking hair reveal back then was amazing.

Dressing up in a costume and stopping a mugging is heroic. The problem is you focus entirely on the costume and ignore the selfless act of putting oneself in harm's way to stop a crime.

Guaranteed replies:
>B-but he's only doing it to make himself feel good!
Not an argument. An altruistic act making the actor feel good does not invalidate the good done by the act.
>B-but costumes are for autists! Cringe!!
No one cares about what you think is autistic or cringe. Snap a pic and put it in your personal cringe collection.
>B-but stopping small crimes doesn't affect large scale change! Street-level vigilantes are treating the symptoms, not the disease!
No shit. The point of street-level vigilantism is to stop individual acts of crime, not affect societal change (although changing a few hearts and minds might occur over time as you touch more people's lives in a beneficial way). That's what Phoenix Jones lost sight of. He got depressed because his individual acts of heroism weren't affecting widespread societal change, which he shouldn't have expected.

I hope he takes care of our illegal immigration problem

Street-level vigilantism isn't a game, it's not something to create power fantasies and it's not something to dress up in a costume to live some autistic superhero dream. Sure, he stopped a handful of muggings but there are cases where Jones escelated conflicts because unsurprisingly people in the real world aren't going to react to some manchild wearing a Batman costume like they do in the comics. The reason costumed vigilantes rarely spring up in real life because they don't work in the real world, it's goddamn fiction for a reason. A lot of people in society already have problems with the police tackling crime the way they do and that's their job. You think some retard with no training trying to live out a child's fantasy is going to sit well with most rational people? It's a miracle Phoenix Jones hasn't caused more trouble than he has.

So we have real life super heroes, where are the real life super villains?

Never said street-level vigilantism was the most effective method of fighting crime. Just explained what it is.

In general I don't like some random guy taking the law into his own hands with vigilantism. It's one thing trying to help someone during a crime in progress that you come across by chance but going out of your way to look for crimes to mete out justice is a recipe for trouble, especially so when it's some sheltered comic book nerd wearing a goofy costume.

That’s kinda why he became Phoenix to begin with. They came to their car to find the window broken and shit stolen. Son falls and cuts himself on the glass. Jones didn’t want to make an empty promise that “everything’s gonna be okay”, thus going superhero.

So apparently there's dozens, if not hundreds of these guys, running around doing their thing. Why has no one tried to capitalize on this? A program that offers advanced tech, deputization, and oracle surveillance in exchange for publicity would make bank. And why has no one managed to build an actually efficient high-tech operation regarding crime fighting? Sure it may be expensive, but I just looked it up and America alone has 17.3 million millionaires. Someone should have something of a nerfed iron man suit by now.

That just sounds like the police

Because most of them just do charity work, Phoenix Jones is an outlier in that he was actually a semi-pro boxer and the laws in his state mean you can fight someone in public if they accept your challenge. If you actually tried to put a lot of money into civilians crime fighting around the country you'd uh get arrested for being vigilantes, assault charges and running an unlicensed security firm or whatever broken laws. If you want to dedicate your life to fighting crime become a police officer since they actually have the best resources and training available to catch criminals.

Fair point, just surprised nobody's made a more "PR-friendly" police yet, especially considering all the anti-police movements over time. Imagine if every police officer was under the scrutiny of a celebrity

You forgot to mention Killdozer

>General Butt Naked

This stuff kinda preceded the patreon model- wonder if he'd do well to solicit cash to Livestream how. I'd throw in $5/mo or something to watch him have his misadventures.

vigilantism technically isnt a crime, its just doing things a vigilante does that are the crimes

>hatever the hell the dudes who dildo themselves on camera to “own the libs”

HAHAHA, WTF was that all about??

I'm scared for him. He's gonna die on the job.

I'm more surprised there hasn't been more real-life Frank Castles. No heroics, no special displays, just hunting and killing criminals and gangs. I'm sure there's some examples but in this day and age I would expect to have seen more.

Then he becomes more than a man...

This is why being a 'Real Life Superhero' wouldn't work, it would be FAR to easy for people to find out your identity and doxx you.

>I want to help people, maybe I should be come a fireman or a police officer or a paramedic
>nah thats too hard let's put spandex on and walk about at night

Honestly based I love this 'Real Life Superhero' shit

There was one RLSH I considered for my thesis who really was fucking up criminals. Don’t remember his name, he was just angry at the world because of abuse issues. Has since become a more traditional RLSH because he realized his approach just made him more bitter. I can’t remember his name, though. It was “Stitch” or “Panik” or some shit like that.

I didn't forget shit. Make your own list.

The Unabomber isn't dead.

Odds are there have been. You just don't hear about them.

Unfamiliar with him, could you give us the rundown?

Yup. Found him: reallifesuperheroes.com/2011/03/16/z/

Phoenix Jones is mostly focused on street junkies. He thinks putting on a big show of heroics is more likely to convince them that they could be doing something better with their lives than a run in with the cops. The reason he quit the first time was because he realized how hard it was to make crackheads try to find help.

The secret identity part can work but these guys are just too attention whorish. I mean why don't street thugs just team up and gangbang Jones in his house? Too easy.

again, not technically. you wouldnt be charged with vigilantism, uoud be charged with say, assualt, or illegal wearing of a mask (in a state where masks are a crime)

Based, we need more over the top yet surprisingly chill supervillains

Too much free time.

African child soldier who was initiated through human sacrifice into a tribal cult at like age 10. Spent the next eight years rampaging around Liberia getting high as a kite and supposedly gaining magical powers, like bulletproof skin, from the Devil. Led around other child soldiers in dresses and made them participate in cannibal rituals of the bonkers religion he was now in charge of.

He saw Jesus one day and is now a devout christian.

South America had a bunch of death squads. It's too silly to go solo.

I still don't understand why people think that this universe is like marvel and DC when it's obviously most similar to Twisted Metal
Killdozer is proof of this

So the armor he’s wearing, that’s D3O?

What are the dis/advantages compared to kevlar?

There are people that do and don't call themselves real life superheroes, there was a guy that dressed up as Batman purely for charity work for kids but he died a while back.

Kevlar beats penetration
D3O beats blunt force trauma

Because surprisingly most people don't think it's a good idea for some untrained costumed retard to insert themselves into volatile situations where criminals are involved.

And if you equip both?

me, or him?

Because vigilantism isn't really effective against street crime, no matter how much money you throw at it.

You become a god. It’s not unthinkable that someone could make a suit layered with kevlar on top of D3O, with the occasional plate of Boron Carbide.

Yes, becoming a "real life supervillain" and devoting yourself to thwarting these autists. that would be more autistic. But also based.

Maybe I'm a bad person or something but I just don't get what the big deal about this dude is.
What does he actually do?
He's basically just a neighborhood watch member that cosplays?
Who cares?

>real-life Frank Castle
Ehm!
Pedro Rodrigues Filho!
At the tender age of 14 he claimed his first blood. He killed the mayor of his hometown after the mayor fired his father, who worked as a school security guard, for stealing food from the cafeteria. He then murdered another security guard, whom he claimed was the real thief.
He moved to Sao Paulo. He lived as a burglar and drug dealer. There he met a woman that he loved, but before they could marry, she was killed by a gang in a home invasion. He then swore revenge and murdered gang members, torturing them to find out who killed his beloved. He found out who was present and killed them one by one.
By the time he was 18, he had already killed 10 people.
He went to prison for his crimes, and there, he met his own father, whom he had killed for, who was in prison for murdering his mother. To get revenge, Filho murdered his father, and tore open his heart.
He then began murdering other murderers in prison. He rose to infamy in Brazil by swearing to murder other serial killers, and often followed through.

So there you have it. Real Life Punisher!

The president of the Phillipines
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Drug_War

>The Philippine Drug War refers to the drug policy of the Philippine government under President Rodrigo Duterte, who assumed office on June 30, 2016. According to former Philippine National Police Chief Ronald dela Rosa, the policy is aimed at "the neutralization of illegal drug personalities nationwide."[22] Duterte has urged members of the public to kill suspected criminals and drug addicts.[23] Research by media organizations and human rights groups has shown that police routinely execute unarmed drug suspects and then plant guns and drugs as evidence. Philippine authorities have denied misconduct by police

But they aren't.
They aren't really contributing anything other than providing an amusing spectacle.
If you want to help society there are numerous far more efficient ways to do that, by not pursuing those other options shows that his goal is not to help people so much as it is to draw attention to himself.
And that you and others that encourage this behavior see it as somehow more meaningful than other less attention grabbing means shows that you care more about the amusement you feel at his antics than any difference you claim he might be making.

No but Jeff Bezos is. The man owns a goddamn mountain compound.

Holy shit that's metal.

What I'm gathering from this thread is that charity work and public service only matters if you wear a superhero costume while doing it and even if you help tons of people and do a lot of good if you aren't wearing a costume you may as well have done nothing at all.

Why protomen user?

Not as much as the classic RE games but it's a great tactical shooter with zombies and friends

Because a game where you just walk around downtown Seattle videotaping drunks and calling the cops would be boring?

Where to cop?

It's just marketing
if I dressed up as the red ranger and was walking downtown without getting my ass beat then people would go, Hey there goes that red power ranger guy
Then because I also help the poor and the abused there would be at least a few headlines on the local newspaper
Unless I live in a big ass city then people only watch the news for politics and something to get mad at

How the fuck is Guccifer a supervillain?

im farily confident it was revealed he doesnt even exist

If it weren't for the first two murders, I would sympathize with the guy, in a way.

Doesn't he live in Portland or Seattle or something? What kind of street crime is he going to stop?

His bodycount inside prison is about 40 other criminals.
Also, he has a Youtube Channel now that he is free.

there's a huge homeless and drug problem in seattle, it's been a thing for a while now

The guy on the far right looks like a Daggerfall player character.

How the fuck is he out of jail?

In Brazil, you can only serve 30 years in jail or something like that, even if you were sentenced over 400 years like he was.

They struck me as a bunch of low-lives who were just out looking to beat the shit out of someone. More than of them probably a substance abuse problem, and it's safe to say they were all suffering from some form of mental illness. Honestly, I think they gave up shortly after the documentary was over.

He didn't kill a damn person all while enacting revenge on the ones who wronged him, all they had to do is let the man pave the road, but the egotistical fucks wouldn't even let him do that

Fuck it im becoming a vigilante, fortunately i have a great basis in engineering, with a lot of disposable income from stock options trading. If you guys see a man in a mech suit on the news, know that it was me.

It would only work if you're really rich, and have no other kin

Just give me one chance!
You can call me scaraboy.

Ah fuck, I’ll just post it. My shit’s just fantasy anyway. Here’s some sketches I made when I was stupid enough to think I could actually go through with it. I swore to myself that these sketches would never see the light of internet, yet here we are.

The mask was gonna be all black, with sort of a DeathStroke design except yellow and flipped to the right-hand side. The mouth and nose aree would be black as well, leaving a black stylized Horus Eye to be the only recognizable element on a yellow background. Winged sun emblem on the chest—wings as outline, sun as solid color. Ankh symbol (that’s the cross-like symbol in the sketches) on the back, as big as the costume would allow. Was scepter battlestaff with a taser built into the prong end while the animal head can mechanically pivot for easy edge release.

I also head the idea of a werewolf aesthetic—I thought I’d bring a dog whistle, and blow it to mess with any hounds and intimidation.

Soo, non-lethal Azrael, then?

Don't these costumed clowns depress the hell out of you? I mean, I think Batman is a cool character, but none of these creeps amount to a pimple on Batman's ass. They're just dressing up for attention.

I feel like if there ever were genuinely extraordinary people -- people with something approximating some kind real super power -- they'd probably prefer to go around in regular clothese so as not to draw attention to themselves. Let's say that all you could do was shoot lasers out of your eyes -- if you wore a superhero costume out in public, someone would shoot you from a distance. On the other hand, if you didn't look like anything special, you might be able to surprise someone with your power (before, you know, someone else shot you from a distance).

All right faggots this is hero thread, chose your hero name and power.

Hero Name: Machina.
Powers: Uses a power suit that utilizes nano hydraulics to give me super strength, along with resistance to most calibers of bullets.

It does, but for different reasons for me.
I feel bad for the guys, it's sad in a very pathetic way.

Eh i think the truly amazing people don't stay around long enough to have the media get a real profile on them.

Better comparison, yes.

That's what I mean. One nigga in a goofy looking costume with some MMA training isn't going to do shit when there are homeless people and junkies on every corner.

He's in seattle, it seems like an innocuous thing for a guy to do. Though I can imagine that with all of those homeless drug addicts its got to get pretty depressing. Though he was attacked in his own store? Is there any other information
