Since Heroes has started back up with its fourth installment I thought it would be appropriate to revisit one of our real-life superheroes from the oddee.com article. Oh, and speaking of Heroes, I’ve been reading mixed reviews about the newest installment online. Yes, I know the fugitives angle has been done to death in comic books, but this is television and a good majority of the viewing audience aren’t comic book geeks. I’m enjoying the new season, it has potential…so just enjoy the ride.
Mr. Silent patrols the streets of Indianapolis. Unlike his hero Bruce Wayne, Mr. Silent’s alter ego isn’t a billionaire. He has a full-time job to tend to, so he only makes it out about once per week, cruising the alleys of Downtown after dark, looking to help where needed. "I roam the streets of the city looking for those in distress or danger and I do my best to help them. If those in need of help are being mugged or hurt in anyway, then you can be assured that I will do something about it. One may ask, how I can call myself a superhero when I can’t fly or run at mach 3. The answer is simple. I am idealistically super. I see what, in my opinion, needs changed in society and I work towards that goal," said Silent.

It seems that life is emulating fiction with real life superheroes coming out of the woodwork, patrolling our streets and keep citizens safe from encroaching evil! Yea, or perhaps it a few people, a little unbalance, for better or worse, enjoying themselves while living out a fantasy. Whatever it is, I’ve read about this recently in magazines and online articles. Introductory paragraph from the oddee.com article…
And you thought superheroes existed only in fiction? Inspired by fiction superheroes such as Batman and Superman, these people wear masks and capes in order to fight real crime on the strets. Here’s a list with 10 of the most famous real-life superheroes.
As whim strikes me, I’ll be statting up these superheroes starting with Citizen Prime, a hero I’ve read about previously.
Citizen Prime, a 40-year-old married man whose first name is Jim, has been protecting the streets of Phoenix for a year. He became a superhero to spread the message that people don’t have to be fearful of crime. "Are you going to sit inside scared that a terrorist might attack your city, or are you going to go out and live your life?" he asked. But Prime, who patrols once or twice a week in a black, blue and yellow costume, found one chink in his armor. He couldn’t find any crime. "The only crime I’ve ever stopped is when I was actually walking out of a sporting goods store with my wife," he said. "A shoplifter came running past me, and I managed to throw him to the ground."
