    SkyMan is an American Real Life Superhero based in Federal Way, Washington. He is a member of the E.C.H.O. and The Phoenix Corporation.

    History

    Discovering the movement of Real-life Superheroes in the Spring of 2010, SkyMan was born. Skyler credits the documentary "Real Vigilantes, Real Superheroes" attatched to the Watchmen Ultimate Boxed set as his introduction. 

    SkyMan started out in the Spring of 2010. Arbor Day to be exact. He showed up at an event in a very early iteration of a costume and helped remove invasive plants and brush from a park in Kent, WA. 

    Operating from April to June without any local superheroes to partner with, SkyMan stuck to learning about the movement; researching the requirements, expectations, and introducing himself to the online aspects of the community through involvement in TheRLSH.net forum. 

    In June of that same year SkyMan was able to coax an old-school RLSH out of semi-retirement to become his mentor and teach him what a real-life superhero is all about. This old-schooler? The White Baron; a man with a unique history in the Seattle superhero scene all his own. 

    SkyMan and White Baron started out patrolling a downtown Seattle park with a wide-open area. Cal Anderson Park has since become a favorite patrol area of SkyMan's as well as the surrounding Capital Hill neighborhood in Seattle. 

    Three weeks after the intial meetup and pairing with White Baron, SkyMan traveled down to Portland, Oregon to meet with a then-pillar in the modern RLSH movement, that of Zetaman and his team, The Alternates. It was here that SkyMan had his first meetup with a group of other like-minded people in costumes. This meetup was also SkyMan's very first time being filmed on camera. Little did he know that he would have a small part in Mike Barnett's 2011 documentary 'Superheroes'.
