Members of the New York Superheroes go by names like “Snipe,” “Spyder,” “Dark Guardian,” and “Spector,” names that could have been pulled straight from the pages of a comic book, and they take their commitment to doing good very seriously. “We’re New Yorkers. Every night they mount their skateboards, which double as shields, and take to the streets. “Throw it down and I can chase somebody if they’re trying to get away,” “Zero” explained.

Think how nice it is to step into a long, hot shower after a tough day and imagine what it would be like never, or rarely, having access to private, safe washing facilities. That is the thinking behind Shower to the People’s Mobile Shower Unit. ‘People can get food and clothes, but if they haven’t had a shower in three months, they can’t get a job even flipping burgers,’ says Jake Austin, a 31-year-old pastor from St. The unit now contains two shower stalls, offering total privacy, with changing areas, plus a long row of sinks and mirrors where people can shave and clean their teeth. The truck connects to fire hydrants to get its water and uses an external generator for heating.

The poll also found that 5.4 million people in the UK post these bragging photos within 10 minutes of arriving on holiday, for example, as well as of hotel rooms, in bars and nightclubs and even of their bed. Selfie was recently named the word of 2013, beating tough competition from twerk, binge-watch and showrooming. Envious?
