Spidey Goes Rogue

Hollywood police were called by a victim who claimed Spider-Man beat him up! The cops gave chase, only to find no fewer than four Spider-Men milling about. They collared the first one, who said it was not him. The second proved to be the assailant. Though the victim did not wish to press charges, the man was arrested on outstanding warrants. The victim and his assailant knew one another.

Many people dress as superheroes, celebrities, and icons and work the Hollywood strip for tips from tourists. It is not unusual for the competition to lead to turf wars and violence. A few years back, the police called a "superhero summit" to quell tensions.
