PORTLAND- The real life superhero movement is sweeping the country. And Portland has one of its leaders, helping others in his costumed crusade.
Zetaman leaves the hard core crime fighting to the professionals, but is trained in first aid and CPR. He dresses up to help the homeless, and support good causes like the March of Dimes. He also might change your flat tire if he finds you stuck on the side of the road.
Just don’t be alarmed by the bright blue costume. It’s all about being a community activist in costume – a creative outlet that helps others.
Zetaman is part of a group of Americans that refer to themselves as Real Life Superheroes. Comic book superheroes have traditionally exemplified the values of trustworthiness, bravery, selflessness, and passion. These hallmarks of fictional iconic characters are the same that the Real Life Superheroes strive to embody.
The Real Life Superheroes is a grassroots movement that works to make the world a better place. They are using the iconicism of comic book superheroes to try to make a difference, inspire others, spread a positive message, and call attention to issues in our communities.
They believe ther is a hero in everyone and they want to bring it out to help make this world a little more super.
The Real Life Superheroes movement is (sort of) the basis for a new full-length featured movie coming out in April. A preview is below.

By Big Simon
I know what’s going through your head. That’s crazy talk. Silly talk. Foolish talk. Superheroes are the stuff of comic books, not reality. People can’t move faster than a speeding bullet, leap tall buildings in a single bound, teleport from place to place, or lift city buses over their heads. Capes, tights, boots, and gadgets can never make a human being what we see on the big screen or find flipping through graphic novels. Not only is it impossible, it takes a certain degree of childlike naivete to imagine it.
You’re right, of course. It does take a degree of certain childlike qualities. Maybe it’s naivete, but I’d rather like to imagine it’s something else entirely. Hope. Trust. Faith. The empowerment which comes not from outside, but from within. You see, despite the fact that super powers and enhanced abilities may not be available to those entrenched within the real world, there are those who believe being a superhero means more.
The dictionary claims a superhero is “a figure, especially in a comic book or cartoon, endowed with superhuman powers and usually portrayed as fighting evil or crime”, and this is a fair description for those who want to learn more about the comic book subculture. It’s a definition we can start with, because it’s familiar, it feels right. After all, who of us has not seen a larger than life character on the big screen, bullets bouncing off his chest, and wished we could be a hero, too? Real superheroes, the ones who walk the streets of our cities now, in this very real world, lack the powers and abilities, however, with which those in comics and movies are endowed. How, then, can we really call them “superheroes”?
The dictionary has more to say about the subject. A hero, for instance, is “a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for brave deeds and noble qualities”. So we can see now, a more normal individual might be a hero, might be possessed of a certain degree of bravery uncommon in our world. Anyone might summon such courage, given the right circumstances, as courage is little more than standing up to act despite one’s fear.
Anyone might become a hero.
Can anyone be super? When discussiong the superheroes who have become our modern myths, super can be defined as “to an extreme or excessive degree”. Certainly the ability to rip trees from the ground to use as weapons, the power to fly around the Earth and even into space – and beyond! – or being able to shrink to the size of a molecule, these are all extreme and excessive. But super can mean more; it can mean “of the highest degree”, a definition that seems apt. The highest degree is what we should all expect of ourselves, after all.
‘Super’ and ‘hero’ are both suddenly accessible, and together mean something like, “a person of the highest degree of courage or ability admired for the highest degree of brave deeds and noble qualities”. Both words, and even the two words combined, fit, and we become not the classic tights-wearing two-fisted superheroes of the comics, but something else, something more real; paragons of nobility and dignity who represent a degree of goodness and rightness which might inspire the public. Masked and costumed, the real life superhero becomes a symbol, a beacon of promise offering something to those who experience the hero’s positive effect on the community: the knowledge that a single person can make a difference.
Never let anyone convince you otherwise: Superheroes are REAL. And if you’re part of this movement, working toward making the world a better place, you’re one of them.

ATLANTA — You’ve seen them in the movies and on TV, but have you ever seen a real-life superhero, costume and all?
Over the years, a growing network of crusaders on a mission to make their communities a better place has emerged across the country, including one right here in Atlanta.
A lot of movie superheroes get their extraordinary human powers from an experiment gone awry or a bite of a spider.
Our Atlanta superhero doesn’t have that kind of back story, but he does have a desire to help those in need.
He created his alter-ego from a comic book character he dreamed up years ago and he does all his work in costume.
This superhero is known as The Crimson Fist.
“I don’t really like to use that term [superhero] because it makes people think I’m crazier than I am, but I’m a guy who dresses like a superhero, yes,” said The Crimson Fist.
The Crimson Fist said he started his mission several years ago, after a few years of drugs and alcohol.
He realized instead of hurting himself, he could help others.
Crimson is an IT programmer by day, superhero by hobby.
And while his outfit may look a little strange, he says the mission is what counts.
He spends a few days a month doing charity events and helping the homeless.
Sure, he gets the stares and tough questions.
“A lot of people thought I was crazy. I sometimes question it myself,” said Crimson.
“I have something now, but this will help me later on and I’m just so grateful,” said Jesse about a gift from Crimson.
The Crimson Fist said superheroes really do live among us.
“Just hearing someone say thank you is really the best part of this,” said Crimson.
He said his girlfriend thinks what he does is a little strange.
There are over 200 registered real-life superheroes on something called the world superhero registry, so The Crimson Fist is certainly not alone.

i master legend have uncovered another scam to take advantage of poor people.here it is . as you know everyone is being told they will need a converter box to be able to get the regular tv channels or your out of luck.i being an observer and helper to the needy knows that many old people and young too have only a beat up tv set with rabbit ear antennae.the 40.00 dollar unit they want you to buy can really cut into people on a fixed income but fear not i have found a way to destroy there evil plan.just by chance and i being a fan of Mcguyver skills tried an experiment.
a number of test were being done to see if i would get the blue screen so i hooked up an old vcr and used it to change channels and then to my theory i did not get a blue screen and still got a picture all three times i tried it. so there you go friends all you need is an old vcr and your set .
also if you don’t have one, you can get them for about five dollars at the local thrift store. so spread the word and help out some people down on there luck. by the way radio stations have not allowed me to give out this info …hhmmmmm… whats with that? i smell an evil plan that will not stop just here.

Actually, might I suggest that this is a two-fold conspiracy?
First, you get people addicted to stupid programming, and make them complacent sheep.
However, you make such programming in such a way that not only are they sheep and willing to buy whatever you tell them, they are also addicted to the programming itself.
Hence, they then start charging for the new converter boxes. Addicts, wanting their cable TV, thus pay to keep themselves ignorant sheep and keep themselves addicted to everything else.
In short, you make them your docile slave, but make it enticing and addictive enough that they are willing to do anything in order to stay your slave. Plus, it winds up being yet another way to make money off of them in the process.

My point is that once broadcast television is no longer transmitted in analogue (on Feb 17), the analogue receiver in a VCR will not work any better than an analogue receiver in a television.

He’s correct ml. It has to be tried On the 17th. We are going thru a huge build out right now trying to be ready.
I have heard that there is a bill to pay for those boxes
Go to dtvan.com I think and you can get a $40 coupon and get a free box. Also tell anybody who is concerned to do the same

*nods to Runebringer*
Sorry ML – I worked telecom for several years. This is one of the best pieces of legislation to slip through CONgress in decades (no clue as to how THAT happened! ). See: http://www.dtv.gov/consumercorner.html#faq2
Unless the “Galactic Slate-Wiper Of DOOOOOOOM ©” erases us all in 2012 – or civilization collapses beforehand – we are becoming ever-more dependent on cell phones, dedicated emergency band radios and broadband internet access.
The switch to digital frees all the analog bands for a huge number of uses, but mostly for the above three reasons:
* Have you ever had a cell phone drop a call when you are within sight of the tower?
Blame analog TV: in most areas, heavy cell traffic dumps you if it overloads the cellular network – and it doesn’t even have to be the tower closest to you, it could be one close to the person you’re calling, or even one somewhere in the middle.
* Same thing with the police/fire/medical dispatch bands – I have listened in panic as 15 units from four different departments tried to talk over each other about five separate incidents, simultaneously.
People die on a daily basis because of that.
* Last is broadband access. Since my mother was killed in a car wreck in 2007, my father has virtually become a hermit in the lake house – he has church and his bridge game, but that’s it. He is desperately lonely, and since he lives a three-hour drive from me, going to see him is not an everyday thing.
He would do a lot better if he had internet access, but he can barely get a cell signal where he lives – I don’t think there’s a DSLAM within 10 miles of his house. Cable is worse. FiOS might as well be on Mars.
Municipalities and county governments can’t provide broadband wireless internet access for free because the infrastructure is privately owned, and running your own wire is more expensive than anyone here wants to think about.
But! — forcing analog to go digital means that all those signals crowding the low bands can now be accessed using the old analog infrastructure….soooo, local governments will be able to run broadband to the citizenry under preexisting rules governing public-access cable and TV channels…
…Getting a computer to everyone, OTOH…..But, one thing at a time.
The government knew about this waaay in advance – that’s why, as Superhero said – the government is providing a voucher for a free converter box to anyone who asks for one.
Other than the one-time charge for a converter – for those who actually want to spend money on one – those channels are still free…..And $40 one-time is a damned-sight cheaper than $40/month+ for cable/satellite/FiOS…

Well, there is a slim possibility that your VCR has a digital tuner, but most do not. So, if it does and your VCR trick works for you, it doesn’t mean any old VCR will work the same way. If your VCR does not have a digital tuner, then there was something else wrong with the experiment. Either on your end, or that of the station conducting it.
In any case, using a VCR (without a digital tuner) will not work on Feb 17th. By telling people to go out and buy one, you are going to look rather foolish.

The FCC and their ilk have always fascinated me, so this has me curious. Master Legend sir, I am curious about something. First, though, I’ll point out my bias…
I don’t like television because I don’t like the adverts or bad writing. Lately, there’s been some decent writing, but I still can’t stand the ads. At most, I’ll put up with hulu.com ‘s 15 second interruptions, but I never turn on a TV anymore and don’t have a cable TV signal (though I do get cable internet at home). We even watch movies on the laptop or on the desktop in “My Geek Cave”.
Anyway, the reasons for the switch to digital which Librarian defined above are quite accurate and demonstrative of the legislative motive. That’s not to say there aren’t some nasty side effects, but he’s got the info proper there. Most full-power stations are broadcasting both digital and analog now, in preparation for the switch. I know a couple stations have mentioned that
At the same time, I think I see what you are trying to say, ML, but I’m not certain I understand the situation you describe. Help me out, let me know if I have this right.
You’re saying one of your local stations was running pre-conversion test signals which included a digital tv broadcast. You attempted to tune in the digital broadcast through a standard (non-HD) television and VCR unit, and were able to receive the HD signal fine. Is this correct?
Let me ask this while I’m at it. Do you have a cable signal which you ran through the VCR/TV when you conducted this test? If so, you would easily have been able to see the signal, because it’s coming via cable, not antennae. Cable and satellite TV subscribers with analog TVs hooked up to their cable or satellite service should not be affected by the February 17, 2009 cut-off date for full-power analog broadcasting. The signal is channeled through the cable hookup — only the “rabbit ear” folks have anything to concern themselves with in this regard.
Also, just FYI, those coupons are still available, but there’s a waiting list to get them (what is this, a bread line?) — limited to 2 coupons per address, worth $40 each, just pre-request them here: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon/ [ Also, this site has some useful info and links: http://www.soundfeelings.com/free/converter_boxes.htm ]
On that end, ML, you may want to talk to those people you know about getting them signed up for coupons (you could take them to the library to use those computers I’d think), and always request two per household if you can (so that they can pass on un-needed coupons to others in need). There are articles I found online talking about church groups helping to redistribute unneeded coupons as well.
For everyone here, I’m paraphrasing an article here:
Quote :
About 20 million Americans rely on over-the-air broadcasts for their television service, and another 15 million have at least one antenna TV in their homes, according to the National Association of Broadcasters. Dallas and Los Angeles alone, there are 1 million over-the-air households, according to the Consumers Union.
Beginning on Sept. 8, the FCC conducted a DTV test in the Wilmington, N.C., market. Within five days of the moment that local broadcasters switched off their analog signals, the FCC received close to 2,000 telephone complaints, about half related to antenna issues or converter box installation.
There’s two ways to look at that number. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin called the test a success, noting that less than 1 percent of Wilmington’s 400,000 customers had problems. On the other hand, only 14,000 households in Wilmington were using antennae in the first place. One in seven of them had complaints.
That’s just a single example of many wherein MAJOR US cities had serious DTV Converter problems, to say nothing of the rural areas where “rabbit-ear” people are far more likely, and cable or other such services are too difficult or too costly to run.
There are people out there testing the converters in various locations and finding a lot of problems, largely to do with proper device hookup, the television wiring, general electronic issues. There are also a lot of environmental issues which give converter-users the short end of the stick; simple junk, too, like their proximity to high-power transformers, where they happen to live on a hill, silly crap like that.
My feeling is that while I’m not concerned about my own reception or converting at all, having no interest in television broadcasts themselves, I’m very concerned about the idea that a nation bred on the 2-second attention span and whipped into consumerist frenzies, will suddenly find themselves lacking in their simple TV pleasures (nearly everyone in the industry admits that the vast majority of “rabbit ear” households are woefully unprepared or uninformed about this conversion). I don’t know about you, but I’m taking the 18th off. I don’t want to be wandering the streets in this country the day 15 million televisions become really fancy paper weights.
Personally, I’m interested in how to make your own HD converter box — so far I can’t find anyone with info on this, but I’m incredibly curious. I bet there are some geeks out there right now trying to determine how to make the converter out of $5 (US) in Radio Shack bits and some empty beer cans, hee hee.
Of course, the cheapest, easiest solution (which just may improve you as a person) is to say “fuck television” and hit the library or book store for some good books.

Though, I’m not looking forward to everyone being pissed because they can’t watch Lost that Wednesday.

Mm, I think the scam aspect is that the industry is milking consumers pretty well in the whole conversion. I don’t think the idea was meant toward that end (I honestly think the available bandwidth it will release for emergency usage really was the major motivator in beginning the legislation), I think it’s just sheer opportunism.
Retailers are focusing on people who come in for the converters, “upselling” them to actual HD sets. The average cost of a new HDTV is about $800 (average, I say — don’t forget how many higher-end HDTVs are wide-screen, flat panel), even though the technology has been understood and in production for well over 5 years. There’s been very little drop in price for HDTVs for no better reason than they’re waiting for the swarm of people to come shopping in the weeks following the switch.
People seeking converters, upsell to the low-end sets at around $450 to $700. People having converter problems, refund and upsell to that or better.
It’s a fairly losing situation if your below the mean poverty line (or in an institution) and want the ability to just watch the damn news again.

oh, no, ml. this is a rather good topic, thanks for bringing it up. I think some sort of awareness drive for the fact that the free vouchers even exist would be in our best interests. Everyone knows they need to convert, but not everyone knows that the government is willing to help with that, especially people in low income areas. They’re not exactly advertising this fact. And hell, the idea that some vcrs do convert to a digital feed? I was unaware of that, myself.
I think your idea is right on the money. We should figure out what all can be done to convert to digital without spending 50 bucks a tv set just for a converter, and educate the masses. It’s a noble cause.

Superhero Geist visited the LaCanne Park Celebration of Flood Recovery event. He is one of between one hundred and fifty and two hundred ‘real life superheroes’ who operate in the United Sates, distributing general merriment in a variety of situations. They range in age from 15 to 50, create heroic identities and wear costumes. Almost all have two traits—a love of comics and a desire to improve their communities (from City Pages, 2008). Sunday’s Superhero Geist had words of encouragement for the crowd as he mingled with attendees. He effectively communicated his upbeat attitude.

The world has always had superheroes, revealed especially after 9/11. After all, who hasn’t heard of your friendly neighborhood fireman, policeman or paramedic? This article, however, isn’t about them. Today I want to talk about the men and women who dress up in colorful (or not so colorful) outfits and go out and patrol the streets without the sanction of city, state or federal governments. Today I want to talk about the Real Life Superheroes.
Real Life Superheroes are men and women who dress up like their comic book namesakes. At times they have been given the distinction by the local news or by people they’ve helped. Other times they’ve given the title to themselves. Real Life Superheroes, inspired by the adventures of the comic book variation take to streets when they can, out to help those who need help.
They are not always on the lookout for a fight. Many Real Life Superheroes only get involved in stopping an individual crime if someone’s life is in danger. Often they report crime to the local police and perform community outreach tasks such as helping the homeless or escorting defenseless women home. One RLSH, known as “SuperBarrio,” based in Mexico City, rarely uses violence at all. Instead he is known for organizing protests and filing petitions.
In fact, one thing that can be gained from Real Life Superheroes is that it’s not necessary to punch out a bad guy to be a hero. In Washington DC, a heroine named Metrowoman uses her superhero costume to let the public know the benefits of mass transit and public transportation. The aptly named “Superhero” based out of Clearwater, FL provides roadside assistance in his Corvette Stingray, possibly the coolest form of rlsh transportation so far. Portland, Oregon’s Zetaman gives food and clothing to that city’s homeless population.
One thing we can learn from these crimefighters… they’re not going away anytime soon. While so far there are only a limited number of real life superheroes operating in the United States and even fewer in Europe, we can be assured that in the years to come more will be revealed.
There are more questions than answers when it comes to the Real Life Superhero. For instance, where do they get their costumes? Why did they start doing this superhero thing in the first place? Where are all the Real Life Supervillains? Don’t fret, reader. I’m sure that there will be answers to these questions in the future. In the meantime, be on the lookout for these costumed crimefighters to be out protecting the public from evil.

If anyone has noticed (and I doubt they did) but Fat Momma has skyrocketed to the top of my Friends list.  I did this today as I thought of all the people on last year’s reality show “Who Wants To Be a Superhero,” Fat Momma had the most inspired message.
Not all of us can be top athletes, genius thinkers or the best at everything.  Her message surrounding this dilemma was “be happy with yourself”.  There are many “real life superheroes” and “celebrity super heroes” that are making a difference.  Very few, in recent years, have had the inspirational opportunities that Fat Momma has, and done so much with it!  I want to publicly thank her for her inspired message and courage for being a very non-typical inspiration in a very judgmental world.
If you wanted to check out more of Fat Momma, head over to her website at www.fatmomma.tv.  Thanks, Fat Momma!
 

I have been asked a few times “but what about your secret identity”? Well let’s just say that:
1. Having done skip-tracing in the past, I know how easy it is for somebody to find you, whether you move ONCE, or 3 times within a year. All of my skip-tracing was done without the use of a computer at that. Just buy a book.
2. If you drive, use a cellphone or anything else…well you get the idea.
3. My voice is pretty damn recognizable unless you are at least 75% deaf.
4. I’ve been in documentary films, music videos, public access TV, 4+ music groups…who am I foolin’?
5. As far as I know we only live once. Well I never have been big on livin’ to be an old man. We all gonna die so no need to cry!
I love the luchador tradition of mask-wearing, and I love theatrics in general. I think everybody’s entitled to wear masks, costumes, make up, or what have you… as far as hiding though, you probably don’t leave the house in your uniform, there’s camera’s at the ATMs, the streetlights, squad cars, stores… There is also such a thing as corrupt cops for folks to get info from for the right price. There’s nowhere to hide.
For the RLSH Community, I see uniforms mainly as fucntional symbols augmented with gear that helps you to do your job. Good luck, and have a drink for me >:D
Respect.

I have taken to patrolling without the mask a lot more, and found some serious benefit in doing so. Ideally A dark green and black centurion-style helmet for the future (similar to the light green mask, but exposing the face somewhat like Magneto from the X-Men comics)
For now, I have been alternating between no-mask and the black mask.
But *pssh* enough about fashion for now…I mean…light green on black, omigawd what was I thinking…that’s SO “Spring of 1981”.
