Marvel Heroes Slug It Out in Real Life
Captain America and Spider-Man got busted by the police for trading blows in public. No, seriously: This really happened.
In a case of real life (unintentionally) mimicking art, two unruly superheroes were caught fighting in a parking garage early Sunday morning. The funny thing is that the brawl occurred in Stamford, Connecticut, and involved two men dressed as characters who fought during <a href=http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Front-Line-Book/dp/0785123121/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1288827967&sr=8-3>Marvel Comics' "Civil War" crossover event (which started with a super-powered battle gone wrong in Stamford).
According to the Stamford Advocate:
Police officials say officers responded to a fight in the Bell Street parking garage early Sunday morning and found a man dressed as Captain America holding a man on the ground and punching him, Assistant Police Chief Jon Fontneau said.
The fight was reported 1:33 a.m. Sunday by a parking garage employee. It began when a 25-year-old wearing a Captain America costume got into an argument that turned physical with the father of a Stamford man who turned 21 Sunday, police Lt. Elizabeth Erickson said. [...The man's son] wore the Spider-Man outfit and allegedly punched [Cap] as police tried to break up the scuffle.
The man dressed as Spidey had his girlfriend -who is also up on charges- present, though she was apparently dressed as Poison Ivy instead of Mary Jane Watson. Someone needs to tell these folks that this is not how superheroes are supposed to behave.
