Unmasked! Superhero Phoenix Jones Reveals Secret Identity

Phoenix Jones, the self-proclaimed superhero whose videos of him thwarting crime have appeared across the web, unmasked himself Thursday morning at a court hearing.

Jones, 23, whose real name is Benjamin John Francis Fodor, appeared in court wearing his super hero costume, but was asked by a court officer to remove his mask as court proceeded.

Fodor was arrested on Sunday after pepper spraying a group of people as he was trying to break up a fight.

A court officer asked him to remove the mask and he complied but put it back on after the hearing to speak with reporters — at which point, he dramatically removed it again to reveal his true identity.
