Comic book characters like Spider-Man and Green Lantern are beloved by losers all around the world. They stand for justice and hope, and rescue helpless pedestrians from distracted drivers. It’s no surprise a comic book fan might want to become a real-life superhero.

In real life, though, there’s no such thing as radioactive spiders or laser vision. And last I checked, there aren’t too many cackling supervillains running around either. So what’s left to do? Well, dress up in a colorful skintight costume and walk around the city streets where lots of people can see you, that’s what.

These people may need to go back to the drawing board on some of their costumes, but when you check out these pictures you’ll see they all share a common superpower: too much free time.
