Real-life Superheroes

I was shocked and astounded to discover that Wikipedia has an entry for so-called "real-life superheroes". That was nothing compared to the shock I received when I read it. There are apparently actual people who feel, I don't know, a civic duty or something to dress up in spandex and run around the local scene preventing crimes and getting press coverage. Quite frankly, that doesn't seem very superheroesque, getting interviewed. But when you have no powers aside from the ability to "organize labor rallies and protests, and file petitions", you got nothing else to go on but the fleeting fame television offers. That particular civil servant is Superbarrio, seen here getting into what he presumably calls his "Superbarriomobile."

Not too inspiring. Superbarrio looks like he let himself go a bit. Perhaps the most compelling read is this article from the Washington Post. Aside from that, the closest thing to a superhero I would cheer on is the guy who destroys wheel clamps.
