Somehow, and sadly, Portland has three and Houston has none. How could that be? I'm guessing lack of corporate sponsorships.

For some reason, RealLifeSuperHeroes.org has chosen not to highlight Indianapolis's protector Mr Silent. That's right, most superheroes have MySpace pages. And blogs, inevitably.
