Superheroes

( distant siren wailing )

Mr. Xtreme:

WELL, WE WERE ACTUALLY

OUT ON A PATROL.

AND I HEAR A SCREAM

IN AN ALLEY.

WE START GOING INTO THIS

DARK ALLEY-- REALLY DARK.

YOU KNOW, THE SCREAM

STARTED GETTING LOUDER

AS WE GOT:

CLOSER AND CLOSER.

THE NEXT THING I SAW

WAS THIS WOMAN,

AND THIS GUY WAS STOMPING

ON HER HEAD.

AND I GOT:

IN FRONT OF MY PARTNER

AND JUST SHOUTED AT THE GUY.

I JUST SAID, "HEY!"

AND THEN HE--

HE BOLTED SO FAST.

"STOP, A**HOLE!"

( panting )

HE DUCKS INTO:

ANOTHER ALLEY.

AND WE-- WE BACK HIM UP

AGAINST THE WALL.

HE TRIES TO GET PAST US.

MY PARTNER SAYS,

"HEY, DON'T MAKE ME

TAKE YOU DOWN."

AND I-- YOU KNOW,

I HAD MY HANDS UP,

OPEN PALMS,

YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE

A MUAY THAI STANCE.

I JUST TOLD HIM,

"HEY, MAN, BACK UP.

DON'T-- DON'T GO NO PLACE.

JUST CALM DOWN.

STAY WHERE YOU'RE AT."

AND HE TRIED TO GET PAST US,

BUT WE JUST TRIED TO--

WE JUST BLOCKED HIM IN."

( siren wailing )

ALL OF A SUDDEN:

A SQUAD CAR COMES UP.

SHE PUTS HIM IN HANDCUFFS,

THROWS HIM IN THE BACK.

AND HE ENDED UP:

GETTING 34 YEARS.

( tires screech )

( sirens wailing )

( man panting )

I DO NOT HAVE:

ANY SUPERPOWERS.

HAVING SUPERPOWERS

DOES NOT NECESSARILY

MAKE YOU A SUPERHERO.

I THINK IT'S HAVING

SUPER MOTIVATION

AND DOING SUPER DEEDS.

( grunting )

I THINK THAT'S WHAT

MAKES YOU A SUPERHERO.

Power Rangers

Mystic Force!

WELCOME TO:

THE XTREME CAVE.

THIS IS MY RESIDENCE--

MY APARTMENT.

I DO CALL IT:

THE XTREME CAVE,

'CAUSE IT IS

WHERE I LIVE.

BUT IT'S ALSO

WHERE I OPERATE:

THE XTREME JUSTICE LEAGUE

WHERE I DO MY RESEARCH

AND WHERE I STORE

MY EQUIPMENT.

VERY MUCH:

INTO COMIC BOOKS.

I COLLECT COMIC BOOKS.

READ THEM, STARE AT THEM.

THEY ARE:

MY INSPIRATION.

OBVIOUSLY, I'M VERY MUCH

INTO POWER RANGERS.

YEP.

YEAH, THEY'RE GONNA MORPH.

YOU CAN GO OVER SOME OF

MY BOOK COLLECTION--

"CHEAP SHOTS, AMBUSHES

AND OTHER LESSONS,"

"ONE-STRIKE

STOPPING POWER,"

"CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE,"

"THE CRIMINAL LAW HANDBOOK,"

"WORLD'S DEADLIEST

FIGHTING SECRETS,"

"THE BRUTAL ART

OF RIPPING,

POKING AND PRESSING

VITAL TARGETS."

THIS IS A "BOB,"

OR BODY OPPONENT BAG.

IT'S USED BY A LOT

OF DIFFERENT MARTIAL ARTISTS,

MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOLS.

START OFF WITH A PALM STRIKE

TO THE NOSE,

FOLLOW IT UP:

BY EYE GOUGE,

AND THEN PUT IN:

AN ELBOW TECHNIQUE

TO HIS TEMPLE,

ANOTHER:

ELBOW TECHNIQUE:

AND THEN COME IN HERE

AND THEN BOOM.

I CAN EVEN DEMONSTRATE

SOME OF MY TECHNIQUES

FROM MY SUPER EXTREME

DEATH METAL FIGHTING SYSTEM.

AW, MAN.

HE'S GOT MY ARMS.

MAYBE HE'S PUNCHING ME.

HE'S F***ING HEAD-BUTTING ME.

I GOTTA TRY:

TO PROTECT MY FACE.

AND THEN BOOM-- I CAN TRY

TO REACH FOR HIS EYES

AND JUST SCOOP THEM OUT

WITH MY THUMB,

AND THEN MAYBE:

THE OTHER ONE.

AND-- AND THEN MAYBE

I CAN JUST--

JUST GRAB LIKE--

JUST PRETTY MUCH DIG

MY THUMBS INTO HIS EYES.

AND I CAN JUST COME IN

WITH, YOU KNOW, A BITE.

( exhaling )

( grunting )

B*TCH SLAP HIS ASS.

F***ING B*TCH.

I'VE GROWN UP

IN A HOUSEHOLD:

OF ABUSE, VIOLENCE.

I WAS BULLIED:

IN SCHOOL.

I MYSELF:

HAVE BEEN A VICTIM

OF VIOLENT CRIME

AND I'VE WITNESSED

ALL THE APATHY AND

ALL THE INDIFFERENCE.

PEOPLE ARE JUST ALL

INTO THEMSELVES.

AND I SEE ALL THIS

SHALLOWNESS GOING AROUND.

I DO THIS TO PROTEST

THE THINGS THAT ARE JUST

WRONG WITH SOCIETY.

Stan Lee:

IT JUST OCCURS TO ME,

IT'S HARD TO CONCEIVE OF HER

RUNNING FAST IN HIGH HEELS,

AND YET I LIKE:

THE IDEA THAT--

'CAUSE THEY MAKE THE GIRLS'

LEGS LOOK BETTER

IF THEY-- IF YOU--

YOU'RE ON HIGH HEELS.

WHAT IF SHE-- WOULD IT

LOOK TOO UNGAINLY

IF SHE WORE WEDGIES?

YOU KNOW WHAT WEDGIES ARE?

WHEN I FIRST MOVED OUT HERE,

THERE WAS A FELLOW

WHO CALLED HIMSELF

CAPTAIN STICKY.

IF HE FELT THERE WAS

A SLUM DWELLING:

SOMEWHERE:

IN THE INNER CITY,

AND THE LANDLORD WASN'T

GIVING THE TENANTS

HOT WATER,

HE'D PARK HIS

LINCOLN CONTINENTAL

IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING

AND WITH:

A LOUDSPEAKER:

HE WOULD DENOUNCE

THE LANDLORD:

AND MAKE SUCH A FUSS

THAT EVENTUALLY:

OUT OF EMBARRASSMENT

THE LANDLORD WOULD

TURN ON THE HOT WATER

OR DO WHATEVER HE DID.

AND HE RAN AROUND

IN THIS COSTUME:

WITH THE CLOAK.

HE WAS A VERY:

FUNNY GUY.

AND HE TOOK HIMSELF

VERY SERIOUSLY.

YOU COULD HAVE A SUPERHERO

WHO'S VERY SHY.

YOU COULD HAVE:

A SUPERHERO:

WHO'S VERY FORWARD-GOING

AND CONCEITED.

AND YOU COULD HAVE

A SUPERHERO:

WHO'S NOT TOO BRIGHT

OR ONE WHO'S BRILLIANT.

SUPERHEROES COME IN ALL SIZES,

SHAPES AND TYPES.

BUT I'D BE

A LITTLE BIT WORRIED

ABOUT SOMEBODY:

WITH NO ACTUAL SUPERPOWER

WHO PUTS ON A COSTUME

AND THEN RUNS AROUND

CHALLENGING CRIMINALS

OR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE ARMED.

I FIGURE THAT PERSON

COULD GET HURT.

MY NAME IS ZIMMER.

I AM FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS.

AND I'M NOW

IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

WHAT'S AMAZING

ABOUT THE REAL-LIFE

SUPERHERO EXPERIENCE

IS THAT YOU CAN TAKE

EVERYTHING THAT'S

IMPORTANT TO YOU

AND EVERYTHING:

THAT YOU ENJOY DOING

AND INCORPORATE IT

INTO YOUR PERSONA

AND YOUR MISSIONS.

I CARE ABOUT HUMANITY.

I CARE ABOUT THE FACT

THAT WE'RE TRASHING

THE PLANET.

I CARE ABOUT THE FACT

THAT MOST GOVERNMENTS

ARE VERY CORRUPT.

I CARE THAT THE POLICE

ARE CORRUPT.

THE ONLY WAY:

THE FABRIC OF HUMANITY

IS GOING TO CHANGE

AND THE ONLY WAY

THESE PROBLEMS ARE GOING

TO BE ADDRESSED:

IS IF SOMEONE:

ADDRESSES THEM.

THANK YOU.

I CAME TO BROOKLYN

FOR A LOT OF REASONS.

THERE WERE A LOT OF

PEOPLE ONLINE--

THERE WAS A LOT OF BUZZ

ABOUT NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN

AND WHAT COULD BE DONE

IN A CITY:

IF THERE WERE MULTIPLE

SUPERHEROES IN IT.

MY ROOMMATES:

ARE SUPERHEROES.

I'M CURRENTLY LIVING WITH Z.

HE'S FROM DETROIT.

THERE'S T.S.A.F.--

SHE'S FROM DETROIT AS WELL--

AND LUCID, WHO'S REALLY

FROM ALL OVER.

THIS IS ME:

ACTING OUT A NEED I FEEL.

I FEEL SOMETHING

NEEDS TO BE DONE,

WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

I'M JUST SICK

OF THE CORRUPTION THAT I SEE

EVERYWHERE I LOOK, YOU KNOW,

WHETHER IT IS:

THE BOSS AT YOUR WORK

OR THE DUDE, YOU KNOW,

NEXT DOOR:

THAT'S BEATING HIS WIFE

AND BEEN DOING SO

FOR 20 YEARS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL

THE LITTLE THINGS.

AND WE MOVED TO BROOKLYN

BECAUSE WE FIGURED

IT'S A LARGE ENOUGH AREA

WHERE WE CAN HAVE MUCH MORE

TO ACTUALLY FOCUS ON.

N.Y.P.D.,

EVEN THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF,

IS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE.

YOU KNOW, I'M HERE TO DO

SOMETHING, DO ANYTHING.

I'VE ALWAYS GOTTEN ALONG

WITH Z THE MOST:

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

MUCH LIKE ME, HE IS SOMEONE

WHO HAS HAD:

A F***ED-UP LIFE.

Z:

THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS

GOING ON IN MY LIFE.

AND I SAW MYSELF GOING DOWN

A REALLY BAD PATH.

AND I KIND OF LOST HOPE.

SO, UM, I TRIED TO--

I TRIED TO OFF MYSELF,

YOU KNOW?

AND WHEN I WOKE UP,

IT DIDN'T WORK.

AND I REALLY WOKE UP,

YOU KNOW?

LIKE I DIDN'T JUST WAKE UP.

I WOKE UP:

AND REALIZED:

THAT THAT WOULD BE

KIND OF A WASTE, YOU KNOW?

BECAUSE I GOT A LOT

OF THINGS THAT I CAN DO

AND THAT I OFFER.

T.S.A.F.:

WE'RE INDIVIDUALS,

MEANING PEOPLE THAT HAVE

VARIED BACKGROUNDS.

AND WE'RE ALL COMING TOGETHER

FOR ONE PURPOSE,

AND THAT'S TO HELP.

T.S.A.F.-- TSAF.

IT STANDS FOR:
