I feel embarassed after watching those..
B.. Are you Shadow Hare?
I felt embarassed for the person dressed up like that in public claiming to be a superhero! You'll notice that every single one of his little playgroup have never even heard the word 'gym'.
Unfortunately I'm not Shadow Hare & I can prove it as I have more than 1 brain cell..
I think these wannabe superheroes are forgetting an important thing.
The reason comic book superheroes wear costumes and hide their identities is because they are so effective at stopping crime that if the criminals knew who they were, the criminals would stop at nothing to attack the heroes in their private lives and their loved ones.
These regular, unpowered real-life "heroes" don't have any reason to worry about crime bosses hunting them down because of their "success" at stopping crime. Nor should they think that their costumes cast fear into the hearts of criminals like Batman.
The one possible exception could be a real-life hero whose costume is high-tech military combat armor and a helmet. If some guy was essentially bullet-proof thanks to expensive military tech and had the appropriate combat training, then I could maybe see him being effective against street crime as a vigilante to a certain extent.
But all the guys who could fit the bill are already soldiers in the military and have better things to do than run around dark alleys at night looking for muggers.
I completely agree with everything you've said.
