Cincinnati can now expect to see less crime, as the city now has a [real-life superhero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains). The crime-stopper calls himself The [Cincinnati Superhero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cincy-pizza) and wears an outfit that resembles that of a wrestler.

Carrying pepper spray, a Taser and handcuffs, the Cincinnati Superhero says that he will intervene on any act he regards as a violation.

Apparently the Cincinnati Superhero is part of an online community called The World Superhero Registry. Who knew the world had a community for [masked avengers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-studios-thunderbolts-wheaties)?
