Seattle, WA
Until recently, little was known about this masked crusader. Referred to as "The Guardian of Seattle" and leader of "The Rain City Superhero Movement," he patrols the mean streets, assisting law enforcement in preventing and deterring crime. Local law enforcement officials seem to have mixed feelings towards our superhero, known as "Phoenix Jones."
Phoenix Jones. Say it out loud. What does your mind conjure up? My mind conjures up an image of a few catty 'queens' bitching about a no talent cabaret singer.
Our superhero's phone booth is an obscure comic book store back room where he often emerges fully adorned in his superhero body suit, mask and all. His true identity kept secret by a select few. Our beloved superhero has a Facebook fan page where he's married and his wife is a fellow crime fighter, known as "Purple Reign." (Seen below) He frequently does foot patrols on the streets with his sidekicks, "Ghost" and "Pitch Black." They are all undeterred in their attempts to fight for truth, justice and the American way.
Sadly, Phoenix just got arrested for assault. The video of the alleged assault leaves some room for interpretation. It would seem that our crime fighter's intent was to break up what he thought was a fight. However, it turns out that this group may have been just one big drunken dance party. No one really knows yet, but the cops were not amused, arresting him and stripping him of his dignity. Yes, they took his mask and of course, all his crime fighting tools, revealing his true identity to some of the local street scum. Is that any way to treat a superhero? At least separate him from the general population and keep his real identity a secret. Will this be the end of our iconic crime fighters? No one knows yet. After all, these guardians of the streets accept no compensation for risking their lives...and for making a total fool of themselves in their grown up costumes.

About 4 months ago, some industrious and aspiring media journalists, compiled an investigative report that was printed in the Seattle Weekly News, titled "The Alleged Adventures of Phoenix Jones."
This was obviously a committed fact finding mission that was intended to peel back Jones' persona and determine what difference, if any, he has made in the Rainy city.
I took the 10 minutes to read the adventure story.
"There is no need to fear. Underdog is here!"
