Want To Be A "Superhero"? PHOENIX JONES Is Recruiting

Sweet candy *starts making my costume

... Wow... Where`s my Hit-Girl outfit?

I Want to be a superhero as much as the next guy, but I dot want to hang out with jackasses!

Shoot! If I were him I'd co about much differently:

1. Come up with an original and professional name for your team or organization
2. Incorperate it. Trademark everything
3. Develop a mission statement/vision
4. Have an application fee
5. Have a standardized team uniform
6. Hire an set of instructors to teach cpr, self defense, and any other skills needed.
7. Develop a communication system for patrols
8. Have a central base of operations
9. Maybe have an advancement structure
What? They have this already in the real world?! Police? Law enforcement? NO way!

I love superheroes as much as the next geek, but unless you ACTUALLY have powers, leave the protection of your community to the professionals. If you want to do this, join a LEGAL organization. These crazies inspire more and more untrained/unqualified people to basically cause more trouble then they help.

PHOENIX JONES...BRAVE GUY.

@sarahsatire Finally someone see's what I see, where can I sign up for that?

Phoenix Jones is an MMA fighter lol.

Most of his cronies seem to be the kind of nerds on CBM fat & out of shape geeks.

@nixon Well it'd probably be going against some super hero code of conduct for the hero to recruit the villain, so looks like it's gotta be a self-made endeavor. Look on the bright side, though... you won't need a CPR/first aid card to be a villain!

While I would love to apply, I do not have any martial arts experience. That's just about the only thing holding me back. I can do just about everything else. Also...do you need to make your own costume?

@fettastic - Seems to me like the civilians were the ones picking a fight. They were your typical bravado gangster-jackass types, and they probably have little to no real education or moral fiber. Phoenix Jones was just giving him what he wanted, and he clearly put him in his place. I think you missed the point though; Phoenix and his gang aren't there to beat up civies and be brutal, that's why they call the police and let them do their job. If you watched the other video, you would see that they do more than fight. Don't you know that they teach you Karate to defend yourself, and not to go after a fight?

Did you ever see The Karate Kid bro?

@Ror
You think that's badass..? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.........

@ mr. Ofthenorthstar, why should you care what happens anywhere?

First off i understand why pheonix does what he does but this is just stupid and dangerous. people who have some fighting expertise today have really little to none real world experience. not every one goes down with one punch. just because you took some mma classes at the y or local gym/studio does not make you remotely qualified. only do this if you have had experience outside of these institutions for many years and have a deep desire to help your community. also please do not follow pheonix, this "call for heroes" will get many unnescesarrily killed (think i spelled it wrong) or hurt as to make a difference you would need to deal with many people who are dangerous and just dont care. a bp vest may protect your torso but not your head and it doesnt take a genious to learn how to shoot. second there have been people in nyc who have been "heroes" for many years even going as far back as the seventies. i have met some of the current ones through circumstance and they have trained in martial arts of various types for most of their lives. they dont like to publicize themselves due to the danger it would bring to their personal lives. anyone who is looking to do this please do not unless you do have extensive training and a desire to do so. on what i hope to the behalf of those i do know do not follow him. this is not a hipster movement like occupy wall street turned into or kony. every city does need its heroes but some might cause more harm than good if they are not prepared. sorry for the length lol

Don't be hatters guys, how many of you have ever had the stones to get in the crap for a random person on the street? Phoenix may not be Daredevil, but he's got the right idea. This group that's being put together isn't any different from the "Guardian Angels" group in New York. Th G.A. have been doing the job for over 20 years and their start wasn't any easier than Phoenix Jones' groups' will be. I say more power to anyone that actually tries to make a difference.
