No it's Superman

It's a Jerk, It's a Vandal, It's Superman!

A 21-year-old man dressed as Superman was arrested Sunday in Ann Arbor, Mich., for allegedly attacking a carful of other young men, reports WDIV-TV of Detroit.

The victims had just stopped their car outside a house party to talk to some friends on the street when the savage Superman jumped out of the bushes.

"I guess this young man jumped in the back seat of the victim's vehicle and just started hitting him," said Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Angella Abrams. "When the victim attempted to call using his cell phone, [Superman] grabbed the cell phone and he stomped on it."

The men all got out of the car, and as the victims confronted the caped crusader, a large group of the would-be Clark Kent's friends came out of the house.

A street brawl broke out, according to the Ann Arbor News. Superman's friends didn't appear to have any super powers, or perhaps the car's occupants were armed with Kryptonite (search), because cops had to come break it up.

Two of the men showed police digital pictures they'd taken of Superman, and cops easily picked him out of the crowd.

"He was in costume, and it was a pretty terrible Superman costume at that," said one witness.
