Knight Owl is a Real Life Superhero in Portland, Oregon. He has retired but continues to occasionally support various outreach events.
History
Knight Owl provides this statement on his Facebook for the reasoning behind why he is a RLSH:
While I may wear a super-heroic logo and uniform, I do not consider myself a hero; just a guy doing his part to hold the line in a world gone mad. Spandex is not required to make a difference in the world; only a can-do attitude and an elevated capacity to be persecuted by the people who want to tell you that you're wasting your time. I think there are plenty of genuine heroes out in the world that we need to remember to lift up.
Knight Owl was previously a firefighter with experience in Iraq, although he was not a soldier there. He has received EMT training and is a certified paramedic.
KO was a participant (sans gimmick) in Portland HOPE 2018.
