Caped Crusader Saves the Day in English Town
Tue May 6, 2003 10:07 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - A masked and caped do-gooder has been sweeping through an English town, performing good deeds and scattering terrified bad guys, a local newspaper reported.
The Kent and Sussex Courier said Friday it had received letters from "stunned residents" of the town of Tunbridge Wells, southeast of London, who saw the man in a brown mask and cape scare off hooligans and return a woman's dropped purse.

"To my great surprise," the paper quoted 21-year-old psychology student Ellen Neville as saying, "a masked man wearing a brown cape rushed past me to assist a woman who was having a bother with a group of youths.

"He swept in, broke up the commotion and ran off, leaving myself and the woman in a state of shock," she said.

A man wrote to say he was being chased by some youths when the hero appeared and "shocked the gang so much they ran off."

Another woman wrote to say the crusader had tapped her on her shoulder to return her purse.

"If only there were more people around with this kind-hearted spirit," she said.

I figured it was only a matter of time before it really happened. That is so wicked cool.

that's easy, wear a club-proof vest.
but really, someone should go all out and make a superhero suit and hang out in parks and whatnot. like, armor. like shadowhawk.

because he's just some guy with aids and a helmet.

hm.

after looking around for people dressed as superheroes, I decided that that guy was perhaps fortunate nobody beat him up.

P.S. If you squinch your eyes up a little and look at aquaman, he sort of looks like smug or paint, and that's kinda hot, with the tights and all.

Yea, someone is going to stand their ground and beat the fuck out of this guy, and it's going to be kind of sad when it happens
