Real life super villain, Rex Velvet, calls out Phoenix Jones

You might have heard of Phoenix Jones. He’s a real life Watchman. An actual masked crime fighter. If you know Jones you’ll recall he had a horrible end to 2011. He was arrested after trying to break up a fight with pepper-spray.

The result of the encounter meant the hero was unmasked. He even lost his job working with disadvantaged kids – thanks to his criminal record.

Like a true hero, however, Phoenix Jones went back to crime fighting and now leads a 10 strong group who are part of the Rain City superhero movement.

So, are things looking up for Jones again? Perhaps not.

There’s a new force in Seattle and he’s not on Phoenix Jones’ side. Using YouTube to call out the masked hero, Rex Velvet, the ‘people’s villain’ wades into the fray.
