The Manbat Stops a Car Thief

Wayne Bruzinski yanked his break away track pants off as fast as he could. He had been walking home from work and witnessed a man breaking the window from a car and stealing its radio and a few other items. What luck to find a crime on his way home, even better luck he had worn the Manbat suit under his clothing for a quick change. Who knew the break down of his Manbatmobile would award him such a chance.

Wayne followed the man a couple blocks until the thief reached another vehicle. This time the man broke the window and climbed inside. The Manbat looked around and saw a bridge over the road. "He'll have to pass under this to drive away. I'll wait on top and jump down on his car as he passes. When he stops I'll pull him out of the car and hold him until police arrive." Wayne worked out his plan as the man tried to hot wire the car.

Bruzinski got on the bridge in time to see the man pass beneath. "Fuck!" Wayne said. The light down the road was red and it was a major intersection Wayne had crossed many times in his travel to work. This would afford him a few moments to catch the man stuck at the light. A large package delivery truck came up the road towards the bridge. A great idea popped into our hero's head. He would jump onto the truck as it passed and ride it to the light, catching the criminal and becoming the hero he knew he was born to be. So Wayne psyched himself up, punching the air and screaming "I am the Manbat!" He jumped from the bridge and missed the truck completely. He snapped his leg on impact and didn't have enough time to cry out before another car slammed into him. The car veered over and slammed another car heading the opposite way.

A total of four cars wrecked because of Wayne, killing the would-be hero and three drivers. It was concluded that Wayne was suicidal and had jumped from the bridge into traffic. The Manbat strikes again!
