Introducing: Deliver Us From Ervil

When darkness falls over Seattle, a masked crusader emerges from the shadows.&nbsp;His name? Phoenix Jones - a charismatic cage fighter, hell-bent on ridding the streets of criminals.&nbsp;
Welcome to the world of real life superheroes - ordinary people who put on outrageous costumes and head out to fight crime.
Phoenix&rsquo;s team of superhero sidekicks have all turned against him. They say he&rsquo;s no hero and in 2020, it&rsquo;s Phoenix who finds himself on the wrong side of the law.&nbsp;
So is Phoenix a model citizen fighting for a better world? Or is he a fraudster who used a superhero identity to disguise his own crimes? Journalist David Weinberg sets out on a wild journey to find out.
