Gamer Becomes Superhero

This season's winner of Who Wants to Be a Superhero? is, as it turns out, a regular player of the MMORPG City of Heroes/Villains.

The winner, Jarrett "The Defuser" Crippen has responded to a popular thread on the City of Heroes/Villains forums related to his accomplishment...

"Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the support from my brothers and sisters in CoX! Most of my heroes, and all of my 50's are on Champion. I have CoV, but tend to stick to heroes...go figure...heheehe..."

As a geek and video gamer I appreciate the fact that one of my people has accomplished something, which is rare amongst my people. There are few who succeed but maybe this could be a sign of a turning tide or it could be just a fluke. Meh.
