Michael Wheeler is a beloved Kansas City denizen of Midtown and one of the most easily recognizable residents thanks to his flowing Superman cape that he wears whilst jogging on local streets.
This year there was even a mural crafted in his honor.
Sadly, this morning shared via social media . . .
THE ICONIC KANSAS CITY SUPERMAN WARNS LOCALS THAT HE'S GIVING IT ALL UP ON VALENTINE'S DAY 2019!!!
Checkit:
So far he has earned an outpouring of support following his post and pleas to keep up the tradition.
Expect a litany of follow-up news and more locals showing their love for this mascot of KCMO.
Developing . . .
Good for him. At the very least he's out there getting more exercise than the average fat keyboard warrior.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad guy. He talks about Jesus in public and carries an American flag. He has done a lot for KC and given us good publicity. Overall, nice work.
DeleteDude has broken up more than his share of fights in Westport. Very few people even bother to put themselves in that kind of danger.
DeleteWho is this?
ReplyDelete^^^ Don't have a clue. You new to KCMO also?

ReplyDeleteThis is sad news, he is a nice person, and I will miss seeing and waving to him out running!
Happy retirement God Bless You, and hope to see you around!
Yes. Six figure job brought me here. I was at least expecting a naked cowboy but not this.
ReplyDelete@10:33 Westport isn't times square. Don't worry you'll get used to it.
ReplyDeleteMust have fianlly figured out that Sly was serious when he said we ain't building this city for the geezers, we are building this city for the next century.
ReplyDeleteWheeler is a very nice guy.
ReplyDeleteI saw this guy at QuikTrip last summer. No one was looking at him or giving him the time of day.
ReplyDeleteProbably time to retire.
I thought he was a very interesting curiosity until he started mentioning Jesus all the time.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck though.
This city is over loaded with religious fanatics and freaks.
ReplyDeleteYou have been warned.
He is a heck of a good guy. The pricks at the KANSAS CITY ATHEIST COALITION frequently made fun of him.
ReplyDeleteRight, Josh and Joe? Why don't YOU guys retire? You have failed in your mission.
There are a lot of things that are messed up about this city. KC Superman is not one. He's a good guy and he does the right thing!

ReplyDeleteGod will say to him...Michael Wheeler. "well done good and faithful servant." and they called Jesus a freak and religious fanatic too! Until he says depart from me "I know you not!"
He's a relic and symbol of the Obama era clown show socialist circus.
ReplyDeleteGreat another unemployed negro
ReplyDeleteThat dude is alright, kno wat im sayin. good on you, my man. r.e.t.i.r.e
ReplyDeleteMaybe Slie will give him the KCMO medal of freedom for distracting the public away from all the looting James and crew have been engaged in.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, name a street after him!
ReplyDeleteAre you flipping kidding me. The guy is nuts. Had family in town ,we saw him at Westport.
ReplyDeleteHe was standing on corner preaching to god. Would not be so bad if he was dressed like a normal man.
What an embarrassing sight to see. Good ridence to him.
I walked by him one time and he gave me this "what you lookin' at" look.
ReplyDeleteIt's tough being white these days.
Seriously, what does this guy do? A couple of years ago at the Royals game he hit me up for money. Is this guy a grifter?
ReplyDelete10:39 and 10:42 are KANSAS CITY ATHEIST CLUB trolls. 4:25 is just lying outright. Face it, the KCAC CLUB has failed. Maybe if they had had better leaders than the clown president and the hater outreach director it would have been different. And if the one guy hadn't stolen the wife of the little activist, they would have made progress. Oh well, the Lord works in mysterious ways.

ReplyDeleteWheeler said doing this has led to several encounters with the law.
He’s not shy about having a record of more than 70 arrests, according to a flyer he wrote up about himself. The Wyandotte County jail confirmed Wheeler has been incarcerated 12 times between 2004 and 2010. Most of the charges were for disorderly conduct, not paying a ticket or trespassing.
Wow super!
6:27/ Fake News.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance with that Jesus bullshit.
