Plot: 'Superheroes' will introduce us to several of the country's most famous masked heroes including, Mr. Xtreme, a 33-year-old security guard officer by day, but a goon's worst nightmare by night. We'll follow Mr. Xtreme on his nightly patrols through the streets of San Diego, as he tries to stop evildoers and protect the innocent. We'll also meet the New York Initiative, a fantastic foursome of real life superheroes living together that tackle crime fighting, one Brooklyn borough at a time. Lead by Zimmer, we'll watch as they take to the streets and try to lure criminals out of hiding with their controversial Bait-Patrols. With over 300 registered superheroes in the United States, we'll definitively uncover the 'Real-Life Superhero' cultural phenomenon and discover what inspired these everyday citizens to take the law in to their own hands as they try to make the world a better and safer place for all.
Alternative Plot: Caped crusaders are big in movies, and they're also found in reality, as this documentary shows. Interviewees include several self-proclaimed real-life superheroes, like "Zimmer," a gay superhero from Brooklyn, N.Y.; "Mr. Xtreme" and "The Vigilante Spider," who sometimes team up in San Diego; and "Master Legend," who lives in Orlando, Fla., and has an otherwise typical life with his girlfriend. Some take themselves seriously, others don't. But all want to help humanity in their own way.
