Abandoned, husband gives back on top dressed as The Flash

By

The chlorine seller Adriano da Cunha, 38 years old, went to rock bottom after his wife left him. To make matters worse, his the three children were taken together. Devastated, dirty and tatterdemalion, went to live by the Campo Grande streets. The comeback came after he used the fantasy of The Flash, the superhero created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert.

The ragged Adriano could barely get close to people. He was shooed like a mangy dog.

The heroic turning point came almost by accident. When passing in front of the appliance stores, he saw on TV the preparations for the International Race of São Silvestre, in São Paulo. In this moment, remembered what he liked doing since childhood: running in the streets, wildly. Then, dreamed to be running fantasized in marathons on TV.

Despite the bad appearance, Adriano was able to convince a seamstress to make the fantasy. Making campaigning on the streets, raised enough money to pay for the clothes of the racing and the move to Sao Paulo.

Life began to change after participation in the race. In addition to giving interviews after the dispute, he realized that fantasy made him one admired man. Rather than shove it, people now wanted to take a picture next to him.


Today, The Flash only don't use the fantasy to sleep. Spends the whole day selling chlorine and gas in his tricycle. Still uses the vehicle like a sound equipment, to make disclosure of shops and shows in the region. Invoice around BRL 1,500 per month, a figure that doubles in seasons of plenty.
Location: Rio de Janeiro - RJ, Brasil

At first the police thought it was an isolated case, but in the same month other women began to have the same behavior. Many people believe it's a form of protest, others believe that they just want media attention or have a mental disorder. This habit began in Porto Alegre and was extending into other cities of the state, arriving in the city of Novo Hamburgo. There were 7 cases of flagrant nudity and in these two cities these women were seen in various locations: squares, avenues, condominiums, parks and even in supermarkets.
