He stood atop the tall building, gazing down at his domain. The city so full of miscreants and villains, thieves and ne’erdowells , who made the lives of so many miserable.
His own life had been blighted by them. Coming home that night to see what they’d done might have broken another man, a weaker man. He had never realised the hidden depths to his character until this had been forced upon him.
How could he not react? How could he not try and prevent others from experiencing the tragedy which had befallen him?
A nighttime vigilante, a defender of the peace, thwarter of malefactors across the entire metropolis. He thought about his name, how it would strike fear into the hearts of those engaged in wrongdoing and illegality. Just a mention of it would send shudders down their spines, even the most psychotic, unhinged of them all.
And it’s origin? The schoolyard. The most vivid memories he had. They stood and laughed and pointed and jeered him. It cut him to the quick. He learned to fight back but one against many is never a fair fight. He lost hard and often. He could remember the sensation, a tingling before it would start, and then it was inevitable. There was nothing he could do to stop it.
The warm liquid dripping from his nose, soaked up by his right arm, the shirt reddening, deep, scarlet, a vivid stain. Yet they would mock.
But no longer. As he felt the cold wind whistle around his feet, his costume and mask accentuating his gym-built physique, he knew they would never laugh again.
For now was his time. The era of hero was about to begin.
Soon they would all know The Bloody Sleeve.
i remember a few blokes with snotty sleeves . .
Greensleeves?
If I was going to be a superhero I would call myself ‘The Flatulent Mink’ because I do fart a lot but my hair is as soft as a mink’s coat. I should watch out for trappers actually.
have you been watching south park again twenty eg the coon
Wizard’s sleeve?
Does he have a sidekick…. ?
Is this lad’s real name Dermot Ahern? Or Michael McDowell maybe?
is his side kick JamRag?
His sidekick is called The Ever Crusty Eye
Sleeveen?
The Hairy Mahout?
…and in the morning, the police found yet another crew of thieves bound hand and foot on the floor of the bank they had been robbing the night before. Once again each them had their underpants pulled vigorously halfway up their backs – the famous trademark of The Bloody Sleeve.
Tippex thinners sleeve?
True, how long before we do the Miriam O’Callaghan / massive vagina jokes?
Other super hero names include:
“Women’s changing room man”
And
“Sanitary Bin Boy”
Classic

Cavewoman?
“True, how long before we do the Miriam O’Callaghan / massive vagina jokes?”
it’d be like throwing a hotdog down o’connell street
or as someone wittier than I said months ago..
“Like opening a window and fucking the night”
Think it was SG..
I reckon ‘The Bloody Sleeve’s’ real name is Paul Williams.
Nope, wasn’t me, although I remember it well and have employed it once or twice since.
“Like opening a window and fucking the night”
I love that one.

Like sending the shuttle into space

“oh I’d love to be fisted”
“I AM fisting you”
“Oh”
True story.
Raising the tone somewhat – FUCK YOU CLOWN!

It’ll take more than that to come back up from a fisting reference.
Yep, you pretty much staked it right through the heart there, HM
Someone mention fisting?
If I had to pick a superhero not to be fisted by it’s be Superman. Or that bloke from the Fantastic Four made out of bricks. That’d smart.
Ah, hence the red sleeve!
What? No! Erm, shut up.

Or Wolverine obv..
Going out tonight, HM?
No doubt you can find someone to give you a ‘silent duck’.
“No doubt you can find someone to give you a ’silent duck’”
Rod Hull off duty?
Captain Red Sleeve?
Is there a group of these super heroes in somewhat of a team?
The Cuntmen perhaps?
I can manage to give myself a ‘silent duck’ I reckon. But I’d need help with the ‘bellows’ after a long soak in the bath.
Does he wear a cape? Does he fly or swing from ropes placed stratigically throughout the metropolis? Guess we’ll have to wait until the next adventure of The Bloody Sleeve to find out. Will the Bloody Sleeve go into syndication or go strait to DVD?
He has a jet-pack.
the fucker. any going spare?
Not even I can get one…
Does he wear silk stockings ? and maybe cotton longjohns ? Does he paint his toenails ? and above all does he wear a diamonte encrusted jockstrap ? Is he swashbuckling ? Does he like to have his toes tickled ? Is his jet-pack solar powered ? Pray do tell…..
I had the duck earlier. It was that or bear.

Jet-pack? Far 2 Kwl 4 Skwl!

True, how long before we do the Miriam O’Callaghan / massive vagina jokes?
