In case you wondered, it appears that there are quite a few people in the United States who patrol the streets in full superhero garb, looking for the chance to come to the rescue:

Note of those is actually in London. IIRC, predating all of these (the article is 2007) there were fathers' rights advocates in Britain who dressed as Spider-Man and Batman too unfurl banners and whatnot to protest the feminazi custody system over there. AFAIK, none were dressed as Cerebus the Aardvark.

BTW, I've heard of one or two more popping up more recently in the Pac NW...
