-- Knight Warrior
You don't need a fancy suit or training to do good work. Like Knight Warrior, a 19 year old Real Life Superhero who dons his mask... mostly to make sure people don't cause too much troupble as they leave the pubs in his hometown.
Lightstep
Montreal isn't the safest city in the world. It's got it's fair share of gang violence, and drug addicts. This is what inspired Lightstep to don his luchadore-style mask and black costume. He doesn't go fighting wrongdoers, though... he patrols around, handing out first-aid kits to drug addicts, talking to them and trying to get them off the street as best he can
Entomo
Real Life Superheroes began popping up in the U.S. and the UK for awhile before an Italian decided to take up the practice. That Italian's name... is actually a secret, though his superhero idenity is "Entomo". Entomo strives to bring awareness to the enviroment, to stop vandals, and to keep the streets of Naples safe.
Captain Australia
Captain Australia, real name unknown, is a stay at home dad who goes out in a bizzaro Captain America costume to stop crime in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia (obviously). He says he's had some success with his crime stopping, as most of the criminals he finds just run away at the sight of him, and those who don't run? Well... he keeps his cellphone close at hand.
The Black Rat
makes it his buisness to patrol Sydney's darker corners at night, trying to keep people. The thing that sets him apart from a lot of Real Life Superheroes is the fact that he's actually spent the time to make himself into a properly equiped crime stopper. The Black Rat has a lot of self-defense training, but he's also got a custom battle-suit he designed himself, which incorporates chainmail and some other materials that makes the entire suit stab, cut, and bash proof.
Thanatos
Based out of Vancouver, this Superhero certainly doesn't look the part of a true hero... but that's what he is. This elderly gentleman's story started when he was having a conversation with a police officer about the homeless population in the area. The cop said that "the only thing these people have to look forward to is death".
Terrifica
It's not just men going out there and trying to make the world a better place, obviously. In New York City, one woman finally had enough of women being sexually assaulted after drinking. So she made it her mission to protect the women of New York..
Mr. Xtreme
There are many ways to handle being bullied and beat-up as a kid. Of all the options open to him, Mr. Xtreme (real name unknown) decided to get buff and become a vigilante; at night he puts on his tactical vest, goggles and helmet to become Mr. Xtreme.
Phoenix Jones
If you haven't heard of any of the people on this list, you've still probably heard of Phoenix Jones, the professional MMA fighter turned vigilante. In 2010, Benjamin Fodor had his car broken into, and his young son fell onto the broken glass, injuring him. When he asked around, people had seen thugs break the car windows, but no one called the police or did anything to stop the hooligans.
Honorable mentions; Dex Laserskater; Shadow Hare ; Crimson fist and Metadata
Lion Heart
whose costume is definitely... low-key. Lion Heart has something that is desperately needed in Liberia... He knows how to purify water. He travels from town to town, teaching people how to purify their water, and explains why it's important to not drink disease ridden water, and how to keep clean.
