During a recent office discussion about what one would do in the event of a lottery win or the sudden acquirement of wealth, I decided that the only reasonable course of action would be to set ones self up as a Bruce Wayne-esque superhero. Think of all the gadgets and martials arts training that you could buy (of course you could be a militant philanthropist and donate some of your vast wealth to charity too)
Wondering if anyone had ever attempted this I checked google and found this fascinating site

and wikipedia's entry on the subject

My two favourite real life superheroes are Polarman (shovels snow in a Canadian town during the day and fights crime at night) and Citizen Prime (so far Citizen Prime has stopped precisely one shoplifter by throwing him to the ground, but his costume is badass)
