Nerd That Doesn't Sound Very Superheroic
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 2:55 PM
A British real-life superhero quit real-life superheroing after he had the shit beaten out of him.
Roger says a street attack triggered his decision to scale down his crimefighting, although he will be tempted back into costume for charity appearances... Roger, 20, said: “We were recognised when we were walking through Clifton and some lads started punching me. My face was all swollen."
Apparently during the beating, his super power—common sense—finally kicked in.
