The Legend of Master Legend

Posted by Maximum Fun on 29th December 2008

MaxFunPal Josh Bearman wrote an amazing feature in a recent Rolling Stone about Real Life Superheroes — guys who dress up in outfits and fight crime. And sometimes get arrested, because most stuff superheroes do is illegal. And sometimes get evicted from their hideouts, because nothing that superheroes do pays. It focuses on one guy, Master Legend. Master Legend has a super-weapon, called The Master Blaster, which is a cannon powered by spray-on deoderant.

While you are spending time with Josh’s remarkable nose for great stories, don’t miss his piece on last week’s This American Life, which concerns a profound and violent rift in an organization called The Amalgamated Order of Real-Beard Santas.
