This week, we learned the law doesn’t discriminate. Fresh on the heels of the Hollywood hacker’s arrest, another cult personality dubbed “Seattle’s real-life superhero” has been cuffed. Phoenix Jones, né Benjamin Fodor, was hauled into prison this past Sunday, reports The Washington Post. Fodor appeared in court this morning to address assault charges from an incident in which he allegedly pepper sprayed people who were fighting outside a club. He appeared outside the court room to at last be unmasked after nearly a full year of speculation.
After prosecutors declined to press assault charges, Fodor pulled a Clark Kent and ripped open his suit to reveal a high-tech black-and-gold superhero costume (outfitted with a bulletproof vest and stab plating) underneath. As Phoenix Jones, Fodor leads the Rain City Superhero Movement, a group of self-styled vigilantes — including his wife PurpleReign — with background in mixed martial arts. Members of the Movement have been patrolling the streets of the Emerald City since January. Fodor himself has been credited with preventing a carjacking and a bus theft. “I will continue to patrol with my team, probably tonight,” he vowed before reporters outside the courthouse, “In addition to being Phoenix Jones, I am also Ben Fodor, father and brother. I am just like everybody else. The only difference is that I try to stop crime in my neighborhood and everywhere else.”
So, PopWatchers, we already made one nomination for America’s next superhero, but do you think Phoenix Jones is a better man for the post? Is America ready for a Kick-Ass-style superhero? Or is this a swift way to get yourself killed? If you joined Jones’ Rain City Superhero Movement, what would be your super-secret superhero identity?

ummm wow alrighty then….
I had been wondering what Kid n’ Play had been up to since those House Party movies….
YIKES! put the mask back on!
He’s a menace!
Just like that %&*$ Spider-Man!
LOL
I don’t know which is more intimidating, the gold lamé costume, or that wicked Kid n’ Play hightop hairstyle…
Never reveal your identity! It only gets you killed.
your all just haters. Any one who has the balls to dress up as a superhero, is a badass in my book. I, here in the boondocks of indiana, believe that every city needs a superhero or 6. . . superheros > police
true dat!!!
well we do have a Super 8 Motel does that count?
With a name like Lanford it doesn’t surprise me that you don’t know this, but when you’re arrested you go to JAIL, not prison. PRISON comes after you’re convicted. Silly Mr. Beard!
Yeah, that annoyed me too. Why let a little thing like accuracy get in the way of “journalism” though.
Wait, someone tried to steal a bus? I’m more interested in that story.
It’s Big Daddy Kane ‘yall!
I bet this guy is just unbearable to be around. And I’m going to go ahead and call him a horrible father too.
Someone needs to introduce him to reality.
Good Job Phoenix, Your my Hero,
My son was attacked and killed ! It was a mistake

people stop you fore what your doing.
