Quality!

Unlike in the comics, real-life Commissioner Gordons rarely express gratitude for superheroes' help. One evening when Master Legend was on patrol, he heard a woman scream and ran to investigate. But when he located the damsel in distress, she thought he was attacking her and called the cops. "They wanted to know if I was some kind of insane man, a 41-year-old man running around in a costume," he recounts. "Apparently, they had never heard of me."

The Eye is a 49-year-old crimebuster from Mountain View, California, who wears a Green Hornet-inspired fedora and trench coat. Though he focuses mainly on detective work and crime-tip reporting, he prepares himself for hand-to-hand combat by studying kung fu and wielding an arsenal of light-based weapons designed to dazzle enemies.

"In movies, a ninja will have some powder or smoke to throw at you to distract," he explains. "That's essentially what I'm trying to do."

All superheroes have origins, and The Eye is no exception. He grew up tinkering with electronic gadgetry, first with his dad, then in the employ of a Silicon Valley company (he's reluctant to say which one). The Eye considers himself "on-duty" at all times, so when a co-worker started pimping fake Rolex watches to others in his office, the Paragon of Perception sprang into action. He went into work early, snuck into the watch-monger's office to locate the stash of counterfeit merchandise, and then dropped a dime to Crimestoppers. Ultimately, police wouldn't prosecute unless The Eye revealed his secret identityâ??a concession he was unwilling to makeâ??but he nonetheless chalks it up as a victory. "We stopped him from doing this," The Eye says. "He knows someone's watching."

And now, thanks to a really crappy disguise, he probably knows who you are and will be waiting for you in the car park after work.  Well done.

Next week, The Eye grasses up a couple of cleaners from the comfort of his hospital bed...

I guess those people would be really cool if they did what they were supposed to do.

If they actualley, really knew the diffrence betweent good and evil and when person actualley needed rescuing.

Otherwise a hero is as good as a clown without a circus.

Perhaps if there were so many costumed vigiliants in America, and they are serious. They should pool all their money together, and start up a college for what they do. It would be eally important for them to have afew academic subjects to solve the problem of dumb heros. Also to teach stuff what is evil and what is good and what is really annoying about being chased by costumed vigilaint for no reason at all.

I fully endorse this guy:

Mr Methane has to be the tops (or bottoms as the case may be).

The photo gallery on that site seems to spent an inordinate amount of time on Geist; However, I do love that the article describe part of his arsenal as "smoke grenades" and then the photo shows them as standard over-the-counter smoky fireworks that you need to light with a fuse. That's not how Batman conceals a fast escape now, is it? Also, his mask looks like he stole his mother's scarf.

The rest of them, my God. Hardwire look like a bicycle courier.

Just to about Ankle-Grinder Man.

(1) Don't wear a tight one piece jumpsuit unless you have the physic for it.

(2) Some of those motorists really need to have their wheels clamped and their licences revoked.

 Damn, Misanthropy has already been taken.
