Five years ago, Superheroes Anonymous launched the first large scale meeting of Real Life Superheroes. Since then we’ve been able to help over 5,000 homeless people, do missions all over the world including hospital visitations, public safety patrols, workshops and we have been featured in over 200 publications (such as NYT, CNN, FOX, BBC, 60 Minutes) from over 45 countries with a message of inspiration and empowerment.
Following the launch of our first event, we visited New Orleans and rebuilt with Habitat for Humanity where Mayor Nagin declared it “The Day of the Superheroes,” in New Bedford, MA we had a benefit concert for a homeless shelter and lifesaving and self-defense courses and last year in Portland we Raced for the Cure against breast cancer and gave blood with the Oregon Red Cross.
This year, we’re giving back to the city where it all started: New York. We are holding a giant event during the weekend of October 30th that will incorporate the best of of the charitable, fun and community-outreach programs that we have been involved with in the years past.

By Captain Black:
In real life superhero ( RLSH ) terms I’ve literally fought folks Phoenix Jones style; did crime prevention speeches like the retired Citizen Prime and made coalitions the way Silver Sentinel does.
Toss in regular food giveaways in the tradition of Life and my Good Citizens Supporting Good Cops effort and you pretty much have my RLSH menu.
The topic of what makes RLSH “real” rears its pointy head periodically, usually in the wake of national publicity.
I address this topic periodically so here’s the latest opinion:
There’s no pecking order among RLSH and extreme altruists ( X ALTS ). Those imposing them are limiting a limitless concept. Free people can express their vision of creative activism without bias.
It’s not a zero sum choice between crime fighting verses unconventional philanthropy.
The only choice is what kind of creative activism you select.
My choices to date include:
* Regularly buying food for the homeless at a Canal St. fast food restaurant off its dollar menu- remember, I’m saving my part of the world on a sneaker-string budget ( lol ).
* Giving cold bottles of water to New Orleans Downtown Development District ( DDD ) street custodians and public safety rangers; police and hotel valets on scorching days.
* ( Along with two other concerned citizens ) pulling an abusive boyfriend off the woman and child in a stroller he’d struck until officers arrived.
* I’ve also stopped wto separate suicide attempts this year.
Which actions are more “real” than others?
None.
The New York Times has once again thrown their support behind Superheroes Anonymous! Their excellent Weekend Miser column has written up the workshop as follows:
Have you dreamed of helping those in need and standing up for what’s right? Have you dreamed of doing those things in shiny Lycra? Superheroes Anonymous can show you how on Thursday at its Superhero Workshop. Spacecraft Brooklyn, a craft store, will provide the supplies needed to design and develop do-gooder identities and uniforms. Just bring a costume base to build on. ($20; free beer for those 21 and older; 355 Bedford Avenue, near South Fourth Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-599-2718, spacecraftbrooklyn.com, superheroesanonymous.com.)
The best newspaper in the world continues to support Superheroes Anonymous and we hope you will too! Come on down!
Superheroes are around us everywhere, every day. Usually we think of skin tight suites, flying, and combating villains on skyscrapers. Those traits describe hyperbolized superhuman heroes but, we have people that possess super-human traits within our physical and social world. We call them political figures, icons, legends, history makers, and more. They’re our civil rights super heroes. Check out our list of superheroes and their “costumes.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King
Dr. King is widely recognized by his preacher’s collar. There’s an entire day devoted to his memory. The white collar represents his broad reaching voice of peace and equality during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Dr. King was the key-figure in attaining civil rights for African Americans. He was assassinated on April 4th, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee, while giving a speech from a hotel balcony.
Ghandi
Ghandi
Ghandi was famous for his simple, beige toga, glasses, and bald head. His toga symbolizes the most basic human needs and living in harmony with the world and rejecting material items. Ghandi used peace, non-cooperation and non-violence to silently battle for civil rights in South Africa and for Indian Independence. One of the most famous protests was the Salt Satyagraha (Salt March). He led thousands of Indians to the sea to further institute his non-cooperation policy. Ghandi will forever be remembered by the world and live in the human collective conscience. There have been movies, TV specials and historical reports about this great civil rights super hero.
Lt. Dan Choi
Lt. Dan Choy
Luitenaent Daniel Choi was and still is the face of the civil right battle to repeal the hateful Don’t Ask Don’t Tell act installed in the US military system. The act was recently repealed thanks to media exposure, Choi’s endless fight and national support. LT. Choi is recognized by his military uniforms laden with medals. Lt. Choi is currently being charged by the government because of enlisting as gay; going against DADT’s rules. Lt. Choi will be a hero in the eyes of America and the face of the first step towards LGBT equality in America.
Malcolm X
Malcolm X
Malcom X was a fighter for the civil rights movement in the 1960s. He was killed at one of his speeches in 1965. Malcom was almost always in a perfectly pressed suit, wingtip shirt, and black tie. His glasses were a barrier between the real world and his visualizations of peace for the future. Malcom X was a civil rights superhero and his costume will forever be recognized as a symbol of peace and power.
The Little Rock Nine
The little rock nine
This group of 9 young African Americans risked their lives to get the integration ball rolling in America. They are distinguished by their teen-age, 1960’s, school fashion. The students required military troops to escort them for their entire first year. We thank these nine brave citizens for leading the charge to change America. Without their courage, integration may have failed and we could have stumbled in our fight for civil rights equality.
Chad Douglas used to be a writer. He still is, but he used to too (RIP M.H.). Find more of his articles on everything from watch repair to plaid shorts here. Chad is also a superhero in his own right and fights for gay rights as an activist for The New Civil Rights Movement.
