This is my journey, welcome to it!

The Sensational SkyMan! 


Greetings and Salutations Friends!! It is I, SkyMan! I am an aspiring real-life superhero who operates out of the Greater Seattle Area. Im coming up on my Third year Anniversary in April of this year and believe its now time to have my opinion heard.

There are many up's and down's to being a well-known Seattle Supherhero, not the least of which is operating in the shadow of Phoenix Jones. Love him or hate him, Mr Jones is a force to be reckoned with. I choose to like the guy and will collaborate with him and work with the Rain City Superhero Movement when I can and have the chance.Diplomacy is one of the keys to my success and longevity in the community; I believe in working WITH other and not AGAINST them. I have friends on all sides; RCSM, RLSH, RLSV, Initiative Collective, Extreme Altruist, and many of the other acronyms that are used.

The active history of SkyMan as a card-carrying member of the Real-life Superhero movement, community, gathering... or all-around clusterf*ck of like-minded people dates back to April of 2010. My origin story? Discovering the community was a stroke of happenstance for me. One weekend, while I was contemplating my future in a drunken stupor I popped in the bonus features disc available on the Watchmen Ultimate Boxed set... one of the documentaries was entitled, "Real Vigilantes, Real Superheroes" The little doc featured the history of the Guardian Angels and two enigmatic members of the RLSH movement; Tothian and Ecliptico respectively. I just about had a coniption fit when I came upon the concept of RLSH. I started researching the movement, contacting local members to find a local and active superhero to show me the ropes and started piecing together the super-suit.

Stay tuned for more of my story... this is it for now.
