Remember that real life superhero guy? Yeah, that one in that quite homosexual romper suit, patrolling streets, fighting crime, terrorising criminals, cleaning up the streets, doing what no one else would dare to etc. etc.

Yeah, he just faced reality and ended up with a broken nose in a hospital!

Well ain't life a b*tch!!

For people who can't be bothered to click on the link or are on a mobile telephone here's what it says:

Phoenix Jones, who dons a mask and costumed body armour to thwart criminals and keep his US city safe, has suffered a broken nose while trying to break up a fight.

Speaking to a television station, Jones explained how after witnessing the scuffle he called police and put one of the men in a headlock.

The other man then pulled out a gun, forcing Jones to release the man he was holding. That man then kicked him in the face and broke his nose.

But Jones remains undeterred, saying his injury is part of a superhero's job. "I endanger my life with a reason and purpose," he said.

Jones has been dubbed a real-life Kick-Ass by some, with his life as a masked vigilante mirroring that of the hit 2010 movie.

His adventures on the streets of Seattle have seen him stop a car theft and gain international fame as a costumed crusader.

But Seattle Police have urged the wannabe superhero to hang up his tights before he gets seriously hurt.

Speaking of vigilantes like Jones, Detective Mark Jamieson said: "They insert themselves into a potentially volatile situation and they end up being victimised as well."

The detective urged people not to involve themselves in dangerous situations unnecessarily and said they should report any crimes to police.

Keep up with Jones, so to speak. Well I, for one, welcome this update.
I'm sure our hero will rise like a Pheonix from the flames.

I read that he tazered some drunk guy who was trying to get in to his car to stop him driving. Hahahaha!

Shouldn't he have a secret identity though?

His woman is going to get popped.

With a pin, most likely....

this guy could be very rich, if he brought a camera and did daily blog reports.

pity he's a complete nutter, but guess that's the irony of it all

Edit - actually he who follows at a safe distance with camera would be rich!

Rorschach was a nutter but he was also the coolest and most badass superhero of them all.

And the coolest thing about him was he had no superhero powers neither did he use any fancy gay costumes with fancy weapons and crap. He was just plain bad ass!!
