Rex Velvet: A Real Life Superhero Gets His Villain



I never thought I've live to see the day that I'd be able to see comic book storylines play out in real life, but it looks like the self proclaimed Seattle villain called 'Rex Velvet' has just made it a reality. The video kind of feels like an elaborately produced taunt to all the real life superheroes, who seemed to come out of the woodwork following 2010's 'Kickass' movie. The film spawned an entire movement of real life comic book characters, most notably Phoenix Jones, who operates out of Seattle and has garnered a decent amount of media coverage with his alliance, the ten member group called the Rain City Superhero Movement. Similar chapters have spawned around the nation under various monickers.

Its a fun idea, with Rex mainly focusing around the fact that these real life superheroes are just a nuisance and more trouble than they're worth. Whether or not Rex actually plans to take any action, It'll be entertaining to sit back and watching how this whole mini drama unfolds.
