Superbarrio is one of the most politically active superheroes ever.

An angle-grinder is to the Brits what a "circular saw" is to Americans.

Biography

One man rose from the barrios of Mexico City to become the single greatest social conscience of his nation. He stood up for the poor and the powerless in his neighborhood. He fought for voters' rights and workers' rights. Soon after the North American Free Trade Agreement, he even ran for the U.S. Presidency on a platform of "free citizenship". This man was Superbarrio!

"There's no school you can go to to learn how to be a superhero,"

Mission

My obsession with Wheel-clamping is actually a rebellion against a much deeper malaise. Namely, the arrogant contempt that politicians hold for the people who put them into power, and whom they claim to represent. Wheel-clamping, Speed Cameras, Congestion Charging, proposed I.D. cards, omnipresent C.C.T.V. Cameras, new toll-roads, and the M.M.R. vaccine fiasco are all good examples of inept administrators attempting to make their lives easier and solve their own mismanagement problems by persecuting the people that they have failed.
