Police Officer Proves Superheroes Walk Among Us

Damon Cole(The Huffington Post) – Seven-year-old Bryce Schottel has been battling lymphatic cancer since February. The boy hasn’t been able to go to school since his diagnosis, and is constantly shuttling to the hospital for chemotherapy and medical procedures. He has a tumor in his stomach that is so large his dad says he looks like a “50-year-old with a beer belly.”

When Senior Cpl. Damon Cole of the Dallas Police Department learned about Bryce’s story on social media, he wanted to do something to help the boy and his family. Then it came to him: This, he thought, was a job for Superman.

Cole is a member of Heroes, Cops and Kids, a volunteer group of police officers in Dallas, Texas, who dress as superheroes to cheer up children at charity events and other functions.

Cole saw on Facebook that Bryce was a huge fan of Superman, which was perfect since he already had the right costume and the right car (Cole’s Dodge Charger is reportedly customized with Superman’s insignia).
