Most people have fantasized about becoming a real-life superhero but very few have ever had the courage to follow through on such a dream. But there was a time when citizens of Seattle could have seen a local costumed crime-fighter patrolling the streets and his name was Phoenix Jones.
Phoenix Jones debuted on the streets of Seattle in 2011 and he wasn’t alone. Jones was the leader of the Rain City Superhero Movement, a real-life superhero team like something straight out of the pages of a Marvel comic. Between 2011 and 2014 the group patrolled the city looking out for criminals while wearing masks and dressing up in colorful latex costumes.
