Sort of the grandaddy of American Real Life Superheroes, Master Legend is based in the Orlando suburb of Winter Park, and has been active for the better part of the decade.
Master Legend received national recognition in December, 2008, when Rolling Stone ran a feature story and pictorial on the superhero clad in a silver and black uniform with a German World War II helmet. Though Legend is little more than a middle-aged man in a costume, he's garnered the support of his community by patrolling the streets, fighting for causes he deems worthy, and working for charity.
His shining moment came in 2004, when he received a commendation from the sheriff's office for helping to save people in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley.
Though many have called into doubt Master Legend's bombastic stories, one police sergeant, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to ROLLING STONE that Legend had helped bust real criminals.
From Rolling Stone:
Based on the neighborhood, [the sergeant] figured, Master Legend might be a good local contact. "And sure enough," the Sergeant tells me, "I start getting calls from Master Legend with information. And it checks out. Master Legend has helped put away a few criminals."
