Not that it surprises us entirely, but just yesterday we were made aware of the existence of real life superhero communities. We’re talking about coconuts who dress up as and name themselves after the superhero they’ve clearly always longed to be so they can anonymously fight the various perpetrators of crime in their home towns. Way to go Amazonia!

The deal is that you must have a costume (they range from totally ghetto to totally insane although most of them would scare the living shit out of you in a dark alley) and if there’s no proof of you fighting legitimate crimes, then your account may be suspended. When adding yourself, you need to include your name (Nostrum, The Eye or Master Legend for instance), your category (say, crime fighting), your notoriety (generally a modest “medium”) and your arch enemy if happen you have one. Then you have the opportunity to add your own blurb. It’s totally insane. Check out Entomo here (who “sums up all the powerful, silent and venomous small creatures inhabiting this world.”) and the other cats at the World Superhero Registry.
