This is an accepted version of this page Phoenix Jones[3][4] (born Benjamin John Francis Fodor;[5] May 25, 1988) is an American real-life superhero and mixed martial artist.

Initially wearing a ski mask to intervene in a public assault, Fodor later developed a full costume and adopted "Phoenix Jones" as a pseudonym.

From 2011 until its dissolution in 2014, Jones was the leader of the Rain City Superhero Movement, a Seattle, Washington-based citizen patrol group that described itself as a crime prevention brigade.

[9] Jones has said that all members of the Rain City Superhero Movement have a military or mixed martial arts background.

[9][11] Later, Jones says that he encountered a friend being seriously assaulted outside a bar, and after calling 911 he put on the mask from the earlier break-in and "made a commotion" until the police showed up.

[9] In a CBS news broadcast, Jones is shown entering a back room of an unnamed comic book store in which he changes into costume which consists of a Dragon Skin brand bulletproof vest[12] and stab plating, as well as equipment including a stun baton, pepper spray or tear gas, handcuffs and a first aid kit.

"[35] Jones reports being stabbed with a knife while trying to intervene with a drug dealer and a resident,[12] damaging part of his costume which had to be repaired.

[42] Fodor made his professional MMA debut in November 2013 for the Cage Warrior Combat promotion based in his native Washington state.

[42] On September 18, 2015, he rebounded with a rare headscissors submission win over Roberto Yong at World Series of Fighting 23: Gaethje vs. Palomino II.
