“Phoenix told me that when he first started out he went out solo and his tactics seem closer to what you’d see in a movie than what they do now, walking the streets to offer public assistance. One of the first times Phoenix went out, he hid under a large bridge waiting for some biker gangs to show up that were dealing drugs. He set up a trip wire that knocked one rider off his bike and fired a paintball gun full of marbles at the men. He then tossed a smoke bomb and went in to tie them up but everyone was getting up by then and he had to run away.”

Part three of my friend Chris’s four-part profile of real-life superhero Phoenix Jones. In this installment, Chris actually dons a bullet-proof vest and goes out on patrol.
It is pretty insane.
