"Z bounces from foot to foot, ducking and weaving, and then works the bag: Left-Left! Right! Left! Right-Right! Left! Right! He keeps swinging while some heavy tracks from Penthouse (aka 50 Tons of black Terror) blast in the background. His fists connect with the punching bag so hard that it leaves gouges in his knuckles that he later bandages.

The 28-year-old is known only by that single letter, and is a member of a team of crime fighters known as The new York Initiative, a small group of Brooklyn-based vigilantes who spend their spare time fighting crime.

The New York Initiative is a splinter group from a worldwide movement of people calling themselves Real Life Superheroes (RLSHs), who adopt costumed personas of their own invention and take a number of approaches to the concept. It may seem like mere role-playing or a cheap copy of the popular The Watchmen comic and recent movie, but this growing cohort take their responsibility to do good seriously."

 Part of me is intrigued by the idea.  We live in an interesting time of progress.  With the militaries HULC gear to the overall economy slashing police headcount.  I can see more and more home grown vigilantes growing.  Now is that scary or cool?  I'm not sure.
