   Okay we've probably all heard about Dr. Discord and Mr. Silent.
   
   Turns out they're just the tip of the iceberg:
   
   BY MOST OBSERVERS' RECKONING, between 150 and 200 real-life superheroes, or "Reals" as some call themselves, operate in the United States, with another 50 or so donning the cowl internationally. These crusaders range in age from 15 to 50 and patrol cities from Indianapolis to Cambridgeshire, England. They create heroic identities with names like Black Arrow, Green Scorpion, and Mr. Silent, and wear bright Superman spandex or black ninja suits. Almost all share two traits in common: a love of comic books and a desire to improve their communities.
   
   Most of these people just seem to be out to have fun and do some good.
   
   But some of them sound seriously nuts.
   
   Now I'm not expecting a cops strike ala Watchmen but I think it's just a matter of tiem before somebody gets seriously hurt or killed.

   Just saw this one yesterday. No fuss, guys, but a quick search before posting news will save us cluttering up the place with redirects.
