\nIf you have not yet acquainted yourself with the website \u201cThe Real Life Super Hero Project<\/a>,\u201d be sure to do so now or bookmark it for perusal later.
\nThanks to the fact that site founder Peter Tangen<\/a><\/strong>, a local photographer, is also a consulting producer on the current in-kind HBO documentary Superheroes<\/em>, his efforts are generating a lot of extra publicity these days. The latest outlet to catch up with Tangen, who has snapped and documented more than 200 citizen do-gooders, is Tampa Tribune<\/em> reporter Ray Reyes<\/a><\/strong>. Per<\/a> the article:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are millions of people who do good in this world but the media doesn\u2019t pay attention to them. This is the marketing of good deeds,\u201d said Tangen\u2026
\nAccording to Tangen\u2019s website, [San Diego’s] Mr. Xtreme<\/a><\/strong> was attacked by gang members and bullied as a boy. He donned a costume to \u201cprotest against indifference in society. People are being victimized and I feel that someone has to take a stand.\u201d
\nMr. Xtreme, who has not revealed his real name to anyone, has since formed his own group, the Xtreme Justice League, which gives food and supplies to the homeless.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At press time, Tangen\u2019s latest blog post<\/a> was about another equally fascinating character, LA \u201cparanormal investigator and masked adventurer extraordinaire\u201d Ragensi<\/a><\/strong> (pictured).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
