Good Samaritan Stabbed & Dies


On April 18, 2010 Hugo Alfredo Yale-Tax a 31 year old Guatemalan was repeatedly stabbed and left to die after intervening in a attempted mugging on a woman in Queens New York.

For about an hour and half Mr. Yale-Tax lay on the sidewalk bleeding out as approximately 25 people walked by and did nothing. One passerby stopped to take a cell phone picture, another rolled him over and saw the stab wounds.

Yes no one did a damn thing to help this "good Samaritan" less the two 911 calls that were placed both with incorrect addresses. A third 911 call gave the correct address but by that time it was too late.

This goes back to the very basics of street crime, observe and report do not intervene. This is a sad case that could have easily been avoided and one hopes this will be a reminder to the patrolling RLSH that next time it could be you.

Enter the Silver Age


Being a Silver Age Real Life Super Villain sucks... but not as much as being a Silver Age Real Life Super Hero. A sad fact was passed on to me recently by a follower of the whole movement. With the retirement of Citizen Prime we are now "officially" in the Silver Age.


Yes those early days of the Golden Age Real Life Super Hero have long past. Back when the world was a simple place of Terrifica warning women of the dangers of men, Super Barrio fighting for community housing, and The Capital City Super Squad making the world a better place one garbage bag and flyer at a time.


Sure there are still some Golden Age heroes around like Captain Ozone, but they are mostly laughed at as their ideals are considered old fashion and out dated. DC Guardian still holds up the flag of freedom for truth and justice but is sadly out shadowed by the steel toe brigade of terror and deception.

Nine days and counting until Kick-ass comes out. A major hero has "retired", one from long ago makes national news, another from the past resurfaces, and more than five new profile accounts are showing up per week. The future is so bright it is glowing!

Very Sorry to Everyone


I would like to publicly apologize to any one I have made contact with through this or any other media outlet.

I was really convinced this was some crazy subculture of regular people putting on costumes and trying to tackle various problems in society. It all became perfectly clear about a week ago.. the RLSH movement is a cover story for an international superhero cosplay sex club.

I should have figured this out sooner but I guess all those crazy fake cover stories of them fighting crime and giving out blankets to the homeless kept me side tracked... as it was suppose to.

The names really should have been the tip off... Master Legend, Minute Man, The Eye, Amazoina Alkidike.... Krampus who has a mouse side kick. Man and look at my name Poop Knife.. I bet that is why they were so excited when I showed up.

Again very sorry!

I will be moving on to tackle the problem of Real Life Sleeping Beauty next as that shows up in the google search too!

Seduction of the Innocent


In a culture involved in mirroring a fantasy world and trying to make it's best elements a reality, problems that already exist in that fantasy world will become their reality.

The RLSH had a small panel for Mega Con in Orlando as they did in 2009. To add an unexpected element this year a villain and or opposing view point was added to the panel. During this panel a young girl and her mother attended.

The result of this visit had some unexpected side effects for all involved. The young girl made a connection but not with any of the Heroes... but with the Villain. This can be looked at through various angles. Our villain for this venue was dressed in a somewhat comedic costume, spoke in a funny voice, and carried a plush toy in his satchel. I would imagine children would respond more with him then sweaty middle aged adults.

This young lady and mother called up a blog talk radio program. Nothing of real note here as nine year old children should want to play superhero in their back yard under parental supervision. After this program ended it was suggested to start a "Kid Friendly" blog talk radio program that is suitable for younger listeners.

Children are not stupid and most are more tech savvy then their parents and guardians. What happens when they start befriending RLSH members on Myspace and start reading about the exploits of their heroes? What will they believe this is fantasy or reality? When they find RLSH.net and read about heroes preaching violence, and tolerance in the same message thread? If half of the RLSH cannot agree with one another what message will the "Kid Heroes" take home from this?

A Super Hero is an ideal and standard no one in this movement will ever be able to live up to. That is why comic books are fiction, because the standards by which the characters live by are so incredibly high they are impossible to replicate in real life.

You are entering a very dangerous arena by encouraging children to take part in your game.
