Spotlight: RLSH The Eye


Aww hell yeah! Now this is what I am talking about. The Eye is the perfect RLSH.

* Block Captain of his neighborhood watch, observes and reports all illegal activity in his area.

* Use of the gimmick is perfect! He has a dragon's eye lantern ring, and The Eyes cane claw.


I would love to arch this man.. it would be so easy too! I show up on the scene and park in a handicapped spot.. WHAM The Eye calls the cops. I jay walk in front of The Eyes house... KAPOW here comes the fuzz. Perhaps I want to take some items from a recycle bin to deposit them for money to feed my starving family... WRENCH here comes the PoPo.

The Eye is pretty much like RoboCop.... If you break any law he will turn you in. Maybe because he is older then most members in the movement he has a better understanding of how the world works..... But only The Eye knows!

And as a super cool added bonus The Eye has very similar opinions as I do about ML. Here is my favorite quote by The Eye:

"We are not silver and black -wearing loons, wearing their neo-nazi helmets, while claiming to be "a super hero" with fantasy voodoo powers."

I would love to shake this mans hand and by him a beer... but he would most likely call the cops on me for assault and attempting to bribe a neighbor hood watch block captain.

Cult of the Super Hero


An interesting perspective on the RLSH movement was brought to my attention in private email.

Could the RLSH be considered a cult?

There are many definitions for what a cult is and amazingly enough many of the descriptions seem to match up to the RLSH. I think this one sums it up nicely: A religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremest, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.

In fact one of the main members of the RLSH believes himself to be the Archangel Metatron.

Ask a Cop 02/17/2010


Time for another installment of Ask a Cop. This time I interviewed an active patrol officer from the Miami area.

PK: Are you aware of the current Real Life Super Heroes movement?

C: No, what is that?

PK: The RLSH are costumed activists involved in various community service. Their activities range from charitable giving, neighborhood watch, and a small percentage of these individuals patrol in costumes looking out for people in trouble.

C: Ah, alright that is interesting. So they dress up like comic book characters?

PK: Nothing copyrighted, they create their own persona with comic book characters as a template. As an active member of law enforcement what are your thoughts on people in costumes patrolling for crime?

C: Other then the obvious answer that these people are going to get hurt, what they are doing is illegal as this sounds like vigilantism.

PK: Most of the RLSH have done research on this matter and do not consider themselves vigilantes, just pro active citizens looking out for others. They do not carry firearms, only non lethal items like tasers and pepper spray.

C: It is smart of them not to carry firearms, but in my area anyone using a taser or pepper spray get brought in as well. Without documentation it is still their word against who ever they attacked. If they are dressed weird and it is not Halloween it makes them look less than creditable. Depending on what colors each suspect is wearing this could also move into a gang related crime. Also tasers and various sprays are not always non lethal.

PK: What about good Samaritan laws?

C: Good Sam laws will not protect an individual from civil liability. A prime example would be a case that happened a few years ago. There was a bad traffic accident where one of the cars was on fire. A man that witnessed the accident pulled the driver out of the burning car saving her life. While removing her from the vehicle he jarred her spine causing permanent peristalsis on her left side. She took this man to civil court and won. Even though he saved her life being that he had no medical training it made him liable. Unfortunately sometimes doing the right thing will cost you if you are unqualified.

PK: Wow, that is slightly disturbing. What advice do you offer the patrolling RLSH who does not care about the risk and will do what is right no matter what the consequences.

C: If they feel they must take this course of action first off loose the costume. It all comes down to credibility. Document everything you see with some kind of video equipment. Many cases without proper documentation are thrown out of court. If you see a crime in progress call 911 immediately, one of the best ways to help law enforcement is to be a good witness.


Another interesting interview with some unique points of view. I have some more law enforcement friends I will be interviewing in the next few months. I may stop if it gets redundant but then again who knows.. maybe someone will support the RLSH.

If anyone has any questions they would like me to ask for the next interview please email them.

Death to Italy


Entomo a RLSH from Italy posted a heart breaking story about how his homeland is going down the tubes. On his post you could feel the frustration and utter hopelessness this person is feeling.

But have no worries Entomo, Master Legend is on the case! And what wonderful plan does good ole ML have this time...

"i call on a mass combination of our super hero friends to concentrate mental energys to destroy the evil empire.this may sound dramatic but we must bring death to them.the demons must be destroyed. we don't have millions of Entomos so this is my next best idea."



Wow! So I guess Master Legends first idea was to start a mass Entomo cloning project?
Do people really have that hard of a time figuring out why I don't like this guy?

I think I may contact Hero-Gear to make a nice Master Legend styled straight jacket so he will look good when he is finally institutionalized.

The Interns are here!

Ah fabulous day callooh callay, my interns are here! At Free Information we pride ourselves about thinking outside of the box. In fact we do not allow any boxes on the premises. Being there is allot of work to be done around here and we have our hands full already we needed some kind of support system. Reading about various henchmen and minions it seems these types of characters are more trouble then they are worth. They all want some kind of payment and are always hoping that the leadership will fail so they can take over. So enter the Intern.

A few calls to some local universities and some well placed adds on Craigslist and we had more applicants then we knew what to do with. After about six hours of interviews we accepted three interns that we felt were up to the tasks at hand. After the indoctrination ceremony Frank, Eric, and Sarah were sworn in. Feeling their names were not up to snuff with the current theme they were each renamed: Master Leper, Dolthian, and Cock Block.

The first task they were given was to catch up on all the blog talk radio I refuse to listen to.
Lord Malignance had tried a similar route with his henchmen only leading to a possible revolt. And that is the beauty with interns, they must comply or they do not get my endorsement for completion of their education.

In the immortal words of Lavern and Shirley... this time there is no stopping us!

RLSV Spotlight: The Max Headroom Hijacker

Time to pay tribute to one of the Real Life Super Villains of the past, The Max Headroom Hijacker. Although his time in the world was brief (about two minutes) the impact this individual made still echos through the annals of villain history.

On November 22, 1987 two television broadcasts in the Chicago area (WGN-TV & WTTW) were interrupted to bring forth his message of evil. From political commentary, anti advertising propaganda, awareness of soiled garments, and having his behind smacked with a fly swatter this person truly was a pioneer of evil in his day.

I look back at this great individual with admiration and awe. He might have also been making a statement about local news coverage and British science fiction television as well, but that will never be known.

The Max Headroom Hijacker was never apprehended and remains at large to this day.

Blog Talk Radio: Creature Feature 02/06/10


Well well my second call in to Creature Feature and it looks like the heroes brought their A game. Trixie and Krampus seemed to take a side seat this time and let Wall Creeper do most of the talking. It seems WC put much thought into this weeks conversation and made some very valid points.

After the first 15 minutes of debate other callers were let on to express points of view. Master Legend never disappoints in his inability to grasp even the smallest concepts of reality. Asking him if in any way does he feel responsible for those he encourages to support his cause the answer would be no he does not. Be careful SuperHero being that you are the one who is on paper for your 501 3c, it will be your ass on the line when good ole ML continues with his reckless actions. Be very careful with your association with Master Legend as you could very well wind up being the next Red Scorpion.

Having about as much as I could stand of ML ramblings I cut in and asked Silver Sentinel what his thoughts were on this subject. To no surprise as I have read much of what SS has posted online the man does not disappoint. Silver Sentinel is another great example of what this community can become by doing things the right way. He is another member involved with his local neighborhood watch and understands when and when not to use the mask.

The rest of the show was followed by Mr. Jingles bringing up how members of official law enforcement can make mistakes as well. Very true indeed as everyone can make mistakes but police and members of the military are held accountable for their actions as they are sanctioned in what they are doing. Apocalypse Meow made some good points as well, sadly I believe she tainted some of her points by coming across as a "man hater" near the end.

Overall will this change anything? Probably not as the RLSH movement is anti establishment.. even their own establishment. But here is hoping that the few members on the right path will be able to encourage the group on a whole and push for organized leadership.

Thanks to Trixie, Wall Creeper, and Krampus (who was strangly silent) for allowing me to come on the show and express my opinions about the RLSH movement.

Interview: Behind Z Mask


In the spirit of glasnov let's have a one on one talk with Z. I'm not the Spanish Inquisition here folks, I am the spin off version on Nick Jr.

Z wants to talk, other outlets have barred him from doing so. Being a villain I say talk, screw you uptight dick wads that censor people.. good or bad let's here what you have to say. This is not some Rolling Stone or channel 4 news report. "Fair and balanced" will not be found here. You are in my house on my platform. As my guest I will not go down the 6th grade playground route, I expect the same from you.


Z, please tell us a little bit about yourself, you say you started around 8+ years ago? How did you discover your calling?

RLSH Spotlight: Captain Black

Well well there is a new kid in town and he is doing it right! What can I say about the good Captain other then bravo sir! Captain Black works without a costume and has law enforcement contacts. A true community activist who seems to be very grounded in reality. No Batman wanna be here, this is the genuine article.

Only time will tell if the other so called "Heroes" will see the results this man has gotten and will continue to get without the mask. I wish Captain Black all the best on his crusade.

Blog Talk Radio: Creature Feature

Well I do love interesting experiences and I certainly got one. On Saturday I decided to call up the Blog talk radio show Creature Feature hosted by Executrix. I listened to a few episodes to get a feel for what I was getting into before the show aired.

Things started pretty good I would say with Krampus being aware of who I was and being very cordial. There were a few people being very annoying. Some person named Number Two and one of the regulars who name sounded like Clydesdale. I first thought Number Two was a RLSH coming in to mock me but I am guessing not. Clydesdale pretty much came off as a 6th grade juvenile delinquent who's conversational skills consisted of foul mouthed mockery and name play. Not very impressive lady, also pretty tough to make fun of a name like Poop Knife. Ya see I already did it for you, sorry to take out all the fun.

The rest of the program after some poetry read by Krampus pretty much turned into a conversational Malay pit. Talking with Mr. Jingles was starting to get good after he got over his "I know you are but what am I" shtick.

I said I would come back for next weeks show to continue the "talk" we started. I am not sure what it will be like as I would not really call this last show a conversation, debate, or exchange of ideas. Here is hoping Executrix can maintain order to attempt to have an exchange of ideas without it turning into Romper Room. Poop Knife will not be calling the show, you will be getting my civilian alter ego. I am a concerned citizen who has questions, this is your chance to represent your selves to John Q. Public.
