One city councilman has revealed himself as nighttime caped crusader for justice.

Reports of a masked man patrolling the Downtown Square during recent months puzzled local law enforcement officers, who say the man thwarted several robberies and prevented at least one purse- nabbing.

The only description of the man police had included the Zorro-style mask, black leather pants, a black cape and a black muscle shirt with no sleeves, exposing a tattoo of the word “mom” inside a heart on his right arm.

During a recent dust-up with a traveling band of mailbox- stealing ninjas, the man’s mask was pulled off to reveal his true self.

So little is actually known about First District Alderman George Doxtator, who rarely speaks during council meetings, which he said it exactly how he likes it.

“I figured the more I spoke, the better chance someone would recognize me,” Doxtator said. “I like being on the City Council, but I like moonlighting as a super hero, too.”
