Never thought I'd hear about Angle Grinder Man again.  That takes me back almost exactly 13 years. (http://caranddriver.com/news/at-lasta-real-superhero-car-news)

So fun fact about the real life super villain that got brought up near the beginning of the episode: His name is Rex Velvet and he, ironically, ended up doing a lot more to make the world a better place than the real life superheroes he was mocking when he teamed up with the Make a Wish Foundation (http://comicsalliance.com/real-life-super-villain-rex-velvet-12-year-old-hero-make-a-wish-foundation-seattle-seahawks/) and let a 12 year old super hero foil his evil schemes.

I never want to see an actual picture of Tothian because I pictured him as Ted Cruz throughout that entire episode.

Someone posted images of/from him in the F Plus SA thread. You'll be disappointed, but also very much not disappointed.

Also, any given Chris Claremont X-Men book counts as both Woods Comics and Woods Porn.

I think they talked about Angle Grinder Man on an episode of Top Gear. Also the videos of Tothian getting kicked in the balls are incredible.

EDIT: I am now TAG SUGGESTIONS MAN: "nerds", "fetishes", "spandex", "conservatives", "ugly websites", "beware of crime"

This episode makes an interesting companion to "I'm Twelve and I'm Not Lying". On one side you have people who are convinced they have superpowers, and on the other are people who are convinced they can be superheros without them.

There was that one guy who was angry that a person couldn't take a  bat to arm without it breaking, so that's soooorta like believing you have superpowers. Or at least extra ordinary.

I think Tothian's real origin story is that of a conservative kid that really wanted to play D&D (Planescape) but was afraid he would be ridiculed by his friends.

EXTERIOR - DAY.
A dingy, trash-strewn alleyway. The DETECTIVE stands up from a crouching position and dusts off his hands with a sigh.

DETECTIVE
Nothing over here.

A ROOKIE COP approaches, turning a knife over in his hand with confusion.

DETECTIVE
Whatcha got there, rookie?

ROOKIE COP
Dunno, sir. Some kind of... dagger. It's humming with
mystical energy, but... I don't know what to make of it.

OFFSCREEN - V.O.
Do you want your possessions identified?

Both officers look offscreen. Pan to...

DETECTIVE
Captain Roguelike!

Low Angle: CAPTAIN ROGUELIKE stands tall and proud, shield in hand.

CAPTAIN ROGUELIKE
By the Amulet of Yendor, whatever you do, do not try to equip that dagger!

A report from San Diego's real life superhero squad

'Doc is the last to arrive. He doesn’t have a costume, and says he probably never will. The resident strong, silent type of the group, he stalks the streets in a black T-shirt and jeans, his rare but thoughtful utterances bordering on the profound. “I’m just out here trying to keep people from doing stupid shit,”'

I guess there's a serial stabber on the loose in the Little Rock Arkansas area and a bunch of real life superheroes are on the case.

Social media seems to indicate our old friend Tothian is involved, though he is not mentioned in this article.

I'm so glad you posted those pictures of Tothian, because in the actual episode, he mentioned the Clearwater police department, and years ago I knew a guy in Clearwater who also thought he was the archangel Michael. I don't know if there being a second guy who thinks that is better or worse, but at least I haven't secretly known Tothian all this time.

I love how the middle column is like "WE HAVE TO GO MASKED TO FIGHT DRUG WARLORDS AND TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIPS" but then the right column is like "actually you should probably just pick up trash and help old ladies across the street"
