You may have heard of the new craze of real life superheroes fighting crime fully kitted out in superhero attire and maintaining secret identities…until they get arrested that is! The big news story in Seattle last week was when self-proclaimed superhero Phoenix Jones was arrested for pepper spraying four individuals outside a nightclub in order to break up a fight. Jones was unmasked by police and his true identity was revealed as Benjamin John Francis Fodor. He told reporters he took on the Phoenix Jones alter ego because wanted to make a difference in his neighborhood…that’s one way of doing it!!!

Phoenix Jones is by no means on his own in his fight against crime as other well known real-life superheroes to take to the streets include Citizen Prime and Superbarrio to name but a few.

But amidst all of this commotion have we lost sight of what superheroes are really all about….the awesome outfits and slick alter ego style!!!! We’ve made a list below of the most stylish men in superhero land along with their alter egos.
1. Superman
Superman
Clark Kent
Rockin’ the original nerd look Christopher Reeves as Clark Kent looks pretty snazzy in his trilby hat, nerd glasses and trench coat.
2. Batman
Batman The Dark Knight
Bruce Wayne
Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne dons pricey Armani suits for an effortlessly slick look.
3. Iron Man
Iron Man
Tony Stark
Dressed as only a billionaire could Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark.
4. Thor
Thor
Thor On Earth
A casual outfit on earth helps Thor to blend in to everyday life…his the massive muscles, super strength and weird lingo might give him away though.
5. Captain America
Captain America
Steve Rogers
An all American casual look by day for Chris Evans as Steve Rogers but kick ass patriotic suit by night.
6. Spiderman
Spiderman
Peter Parker
We went for the new Spiderman 2012 look here ‘cos it’s so much slicker than the older ones. Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker wears casual college kid attire so you’d never suspect him!
My vote goes to Christian Bale in Batman the Dark Knight as both his superhero and alter ego attire are ultimately awesome. Whoever your favourite is I think we can all agree we’ve come a long way from the old POW! BOOM! KABLAM! Batman days in terms of superhero style.
