\nIt will go down among the superhero community as the greatest gatecrash ever.
\nSutton\u2019s very own superhero SOS produced a performance any crimefighter would envy when he blagged a ticket to the Leicester Square premiere of blockbuster superhero movie Kick-Ass.
\n\u201cOut of nowhere a lady gave me a free ticket. I couldn\u2019t believe it. I met Jonathan Ross, whose wife wrote the screenplay, and mingled with lots of other stars.

\nHaving arrived at the cinema as his civilian alter-ego and failed to talk his way in to the screening, the vigilante nipped into a nearby telephone box and donned his familiar yellow costume.
\nWithin minutes a ticket for the exclusive premiere was thrust into his hand and he was suddenly rubbing shoulders on the red carpet with stars like Brad Pitt and Nicolas Cage.
\nSOS, who this week was unmasked as 31-year-old Steve Sale, said: \u201cI went down to the cinema in my normal clothes and didn\u2019t really get anywhere so I quickly changed into my SOS outfit and suddenly everyone was chatting away to me and taking photos.
\n\u201cOut of nowhere a lady gave me a free ticket. I couldn\u2019t believe it.
\n“I met Jonathan Ross, whose wife wrote the screenplay, and mingled with lots of other stars.
\n\u201cIt was quite surreal in the cinema itself and some of the audience were a little alarmed when I sat down in my seat.\u201d
\nThe film Kick-Ass, in which a geeky student with no super powers attempts to become a superhero, bears a striking resemblance to SOS\u2019s own film, screened in Sutton last month, Superhero Me.
\nThe film showed SOS’s attempts to change his diet, “learning to fly” in a wind tunnel and meeting up with other superheroes around the world, including Entomo – Insect Man – in Naples, Italy.
\nMr Sale said: \u201cI travelled far and wide, to places such a Naples, to research my film but its origins really go back to Batman.
\n“The caped crusader didn\u2019t have any superpowers but had courage, money and willpower.
\n\u201cThe point is, like the film Kick-Ass, anyone can become a superhero.\u201d
\nDespite his secret identity being discovered Mr Sale said he\u2019s not quite ready to retire.
\nMr Sale said: \u201cIt\u2019s a shame that it\u2019s out there but what can you do.
\n“I\u2019ve not hung up my cape just yet but am on what you could describe as a sabbatical.\u201d
