Real-Life Superhero Quits Crime-Fighting After Getting Beat Up
From worstpreviews, back in 2011, Roger Hayhurst made it on national news for dressing up as a superhero, named Knight Warrior, and patrollingthe streetsof Manchester, England. He was even joined by his girlfriend, Rebecca, who named herself Knight Maiden.
At the time, Hayhurst vowed "to get crime offthe streets." But things have changed. Hayhurst, who's 20-years-old, tells The Telegraph that he quit crime-fighting after getting beat up.
"We were recognized when we were walking thorough Clifton and some lads started punching me," he said. "My face was all swollen. After that I still dress up and occasionally patrol, but I mainly dress up for charity appearances. Rebecca has got rid of her costume now."

Click here and scroll down. They're both adorable. But I preferred his trimmed-down costume better.
Coupla things - that video with him running and lurking behind a tree makes him look like a total dork. Which I'm not saying he is - but it's not too inspiring.
Also - maybe he wouldn't have gotten so beat up if he'd stayed with the heavier armor-like suit that's in Octo's link.
