Reason Weekly Contest: Misbehaving Superheroes
Last week's winners revealed.
Welcome back to the Reason Weekly Contest! This week's question is:
A Times Square miscreant who first slugged a cop while dressed as Spider-Man has been arrested again, this time for cursing out a cop while dressed as the Incredible Hulk. Come up with a cheesy headline about the next Superhero acting badly in Times Square.
