Real-Life Superhero's Nose Broken by Real-Life Muggers

The Vigilante Superhero is someone we've been culturally familiar with in recent years, from Spider-Man to Kick-Ass to Scott Pilgrim. Of course, it's always fictional characters who are suiting up to fight bad guys, but that same hubris has poured directly onto the streets of Seattle, where a dude who goes by the moniker "Phoenix Jones" has taken to fighting crime like the superhero he [thinks he] is.

Unfortunately, Jones hasn't listened too closely to the Seattle police, who have urged him to quit his crusade for his own safety after a recent incident left him with a broken nose. But as you'll see in the report, it doesn't seem like anyone or anything can stop this guy from keeping Seattle crime-free, even a bullet (because, despite his flashy costume, Phoenix Jones doesn't carry weaponry, which is disconcerting, to say the least).

Also, is it just me, or is Phoenix Jones probably pretty hot underneath all that latex?

Uh, since when are Spider-Man and Scott Pilgrim "Vigilante Superheroes"? Heck, Scott Pilgrim isn't even a superhero! Excellent research!

Scott Pilgrim isn’t a vigilante or a superhero you might want to make the more obvious comparison…you know Batman. That said this guy is has a pair of brass ones, but has he done anything but get his ass handed to him by those muggers?

By the way, for those interested, if you sometimes post comments on Pop Eater (and their related popsugar) and AOL news sites, one of the absolute worst being politics daily, they will censor what you say, and not just for vulgarities. If the comment is not PC enough and disagrees with what they think, they will not post it. I found it ironic in that the place I tested this idea with popeater was on the article on Muslim censorship, via threats of violence (surprise, surprise), of South Park. So just be aware that Pop Eater is into censorship big time. Two of their favorite protectorates are Muslims and illegal aliens, but any PC, liberal cause will do, such as shielding liberal politicians from criticism. And, for the record, the sexual molesters at the TSA seem to have been added to the protected list. Politics daily will also follow suit and censor an absolutely true, non-vulgar comment simply because they disagree with it and it is not PC enough. I have been repeatedly testing the popeater and Politics Daily comments section and they also censor any negative comments about themselves, such as this. Apparently they are ashamed of what they are doing and trying to hide it. In some, popeater was censoring comments while allowing others to use profane vulgarities. How inconsistent and hypocritical. The latest confirmatory test was 1/13/11 (started keeping track around 6/10).

Hi 'exoticdoc2!' Just wanted to let you know that we try to keep all comments unless they're marked as offensive by other commenters, not us. Also, we try to only keep comments that have to do with the topic at hand. For instance, if it's a blog about cats in boxes (our fav), then the comments should be about cats in boxes. I can't speak for other AOL websites but we like to hear all of our commenters opinions.

Thanks for commenting, as always!

urlbotannemaire. If your site does so, then I commend you on your appropriate censorship policy. I post such warnings on other sites because, of course, they are censored by the sites mentioned, who do not want bad publicity. I have had no problems with urlesque to date and the comment was not aimed there.

Perhaps I missed something. But other then getting beat up, what has he done? I mean has he been out there fighting crime and was finally beat up or was the his first foray into crime fighting and got his ass, er, I mean, nose, handed to him? I suppose, if one's going out there to fight crime, he'd better get ready by taking the requesite training. For instance, how about learning a bit about non leathal weapons. Common items, such as a piece of 14" closet dowling. Not illegal to carry. In fact, I stopped a break in at a friend's business, where I'd spent two night to catch these guys. On night two, I caught them at 3:30 a.m. and turned them over to the police. 911 kept me on hold for eleven minutes when I told them I had to go, as I was not letting these guys go. Whem the cops came, they asked me what I was doing to one of the suspects as they could hear him screaming from the back of the building all the way to the front. I sheepishly told them I was affecting an arrest and protecting myself with a stick I had found. I kept telling the guy to drop his weapon. When he did not comply, I tapped him across the knuckles, knee-caps, wrists and elbows. He complied. But I saw these guys on camera and did not believe them to be armed with firearms. Had they been, I do not believe I would have gone out there. I may have waitted for 911 and lost the two (later convicter) perpetrators. One had a big flashlight, the other a knife, which neather knew how to use. I had a 14 inch piece of closet dowling, which I did

If he wants to dress up and fight crime, he can do whatever- its a free country. I would suggest, however, that he carries a .357 or larger caliber weapon to ventilate the heads of the criminals. He would be lots more effective, and you Liberals wont be calling him a hero anymore, you'd be screaming to have him locked up.

I am amazed by the twit factor here.
I guess if you make fun of a grown man
running around with a superhero suit on,
you run the risk of being scorned by
other losers without a life.
Some of you really need to get out of your
moms basement.
He plays this nonsense where I'm from,

Scott Pilgrim is not a security guard or a hero, you might want to compare the most obvious ... The Batman you know. That said, this guy is a pair of bronze, but do something, but getting your ass that had given these aggressors?
