Superhero is a Real Life Superhero in Clearwater, Florida. He is the former Chairman of the non-profit organization Team Justice, Inc. He has retired.
A weightlifter, former pro-wrestler and Police Academy graduate, he works in broadcasting when not in his tights. He began using the name "Old Superhero" to reflect his age and time spent in the RLSH community. He patrols occasionally, but mostly uses his non-profit and broadcaster status to provide support to the other members of the RLSH community.
History
A member of the RLSH community for over 15 years, Superhero was prominently featured in the HBO Documentary "Superheroes" and in the Canadian Reality series "TV made me do it." He uses a 2000 Corvette as a "Supermobile" and is one of the more Colorful characters in the RLSH community.
In 2017, he took a leave of absence from the online community, but resurfaced occasionally.[1].
In September of 2018, the Tampa Bay Times ran an article about Superhero's retirement at age 50.[2]
Superhero is the subject of the 2018 documentary "Portrait of a Superhero", as well as the 2019 short film "SUPER!8", both films by Tony Armer.
