Looks Like Phoenix Jones Has an Archenemy Now

By May 2, 2012 Nerdery 0 Comment

Real-life superhero Phoenix Jones has made the streets of Seattle safer (kind of), but one mustachioed man isn’t going to stand for it anymore. That man is Rex Velvet, Seattle’s newest real-life supervillain, who issued the above video warning to Jone. It is possibly one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. A few thoughts:
? I don’t know if Rex Velvet has any super powers, but he definitely has Jones beat in the video editing and personal marketing departments.
? I feel like I should get some kind of reward for being able to resist the obvious “The Villain Seattle Deserves”-type headline.
? I would drink any liquid if it came in a bottle with that mustache on it.
? Much, much thanks to Paul S. for the tip.
