The 20-year-old man, who wants to remain anonymous, but calls himself the Viper, recently caught the attention of police in Columbia.
Officers stopped the man just after midnight Wednesday when they spotted him in this costume.
The self-professed comic book nerd was armed with a screw driver, wrenches and a cell phone, all of which were stored in a utility belt.
Police urged the Viper to stop his patrols and told him that he was violating a city ordinance, which bans people wearing masks in public.
He told the Columbia Daily Herald that, "I am just a guy trying to do what's right, in tights." On Monday, the Viper told Channel 4 News by phone that it's a matter of pride protecting his hometown.
