Life Imitates Comic Book?

Photo of Cameron Evan, who helped stop a purse snatching. ABC Eyewitness News in Minneapolis/St. Paul is reporting on a case of life imitating comic book. After Teresa Skarman had her purse snatched, Cameron Evan, pizza delivery man, superhero gave chase. Evan works at Galactic Pizza, who deliver pizza's in electric cars and with those who make the delivery dressed as superheroes. Why as superheroes?

It turns out, superheroes fit Galactic Pizza's mission. It's a socially conscious business, thus the electric cars to deliver pizzas. And all of the shop's equipment is powered totally by wind.

And in the words of Evans:

"Typically we just deliver some pizzas (dressed like this), and that's about it. But when we run into a situation like this, we're forced to act."
