Superheroes are among us all. They are the same people you went to high school with.

Rolling Stone recently did an article which chronicled the lives of several real life superheroes.

Although Master Legend was one of the first to call himself a Real Life Superhero, in recent years a growing network of similarly homespun caped crusaders has emerged across the country. Most Real Life Superheroes are listed on the World Superhero Registry, a recently assembled online roster.

The Justice Force is Master Legend's own crime-fighting syndicate, a rotating cast of ad hoc superheroes that seems to include everyone he knows. There's the Disabler, Genius Jim, the Black Panther and a duo named Fire and Brimstone. The Ace lives with Master Legend at the team's secret hide-out, a dilapidated clapboard house in a seedy neighborhood outside Orlando.

"This whole movement is more than just fat guys in spandex," insists Superhero, himself a brawny guy in head-to-toe spandex.


A quality read to be sure.
