Real Life Superhero Movement - The Bald Knobbers
David Bianculli: The Bald Knobbers were active in Missouri from 1885 to 1889. They wore suit coats backwards and donned these homemade masks that had devil horns protruding from the top. He says a lot of their intentions were not good and things got out of hand like quickly. BiancullI: How does the existence of this darker element impact how you think about real life superheroes? Biancullis: It's kind of an example of vigilantism that's spun out of control.
