As people become disillusioned from financial woes and a downtrodden economy and look to put new purpose in their lives, everyday folks are taking on new personas to perform community service, help the homeless and even fight crime.




"The movement is growing," said Ben Goldman, a real-life superhero historian. Goldman, along with Chaim "Life" Lazaros and David "Civitron" Civitarese, runs the New York-based Web site Superheroes Anonymous as part of an initiative dedicated to organizing and making alliances with superhero groups.

I think I saw a news report on this a while ago.

I actually applaud them for their efforts, despite the extremely lame methods they choose to employ. They are little more than a roving neighborhood watch most of the time, but when they do step in and take action they seem to be doing it responsibly, as far as I have heard, and they are to be commended for that.

I think it's nice to see a positive moral influence, even a nerdy one.
