We set up this tumblr to be a source of news and updates on Manchester’s newest superhero… Captain Manchester!

Captain Manchester flung to social media stardom earlier this week, promoting himself on Twitter as a ‘good Samaritan’ doing deeds across the City: helping students load a couch into the back of a Micra, putting out his neighbours bin and picking up litter along the canal.

We were lucky enough to have been able to hold an exclusive Q&A session with the hero himself and can reveal for the first time facts about Manchester’s caped crusader..

Captain Manchester, you’ve said you want to help people and get people doing good deeds, when did you make your first appearance?

I’ve been thinking about doing it for a while but I took my home-made outfit out for the first time on Monday.

You’ve mentioned that you keeping your identity secret from “The Mrs” is vital, does she (or anyone else) suspect anything at all?

I know she doesn’t but I’m not sure about anyone else. I have been a bit paranoid about it but no one has spoke about Captain Mcr to me or in front of me yet.

Does anyone know who you are, or is it a complete secret?

Only I know what I’m up to. I have wondered about telling my mate.

You’re fast becoming a phenomenon on social media, do you think you’ll be able to inspire others to do good deeds?

Hopefully people will be nice to each other as a result.

City or United?

Nonplussed to be honest. I prefer cricket.

All superheroes have some really cool toys. If you could have a Utility Belt, what would be on it?

Something that stops people from taking photos. Maybe somewhere to store a lunch box too.

Does Captain Manchester have a sidekick? Or a cool car?

Neither I’m afraid but 1000 plus twitter followers are currently acting as my sidekick.

If you could have any superpower what would it be and why?

I’d like to be able to pause time. Or mute the missus.

What’s the best rumour you’ve heard about yourself so far?

I’ve not actually heard many. I’ve been accused of being a scouser a few times though.

You’re keeping the streets of Manchester safer and nicer for everyone, but where are your new legion of fans most likely to see you?

I’m purposely mixing it up. Monday I went to Salford and a bit of the city centre. Levenshulme and Longsight tuesday. Down the canal towards Old Trafford this morning. Tomorrow… who knows!

Finally, every superhero should have a catchphrase, what is yours? (if you don’t have one, would you like some suggestions from the public?)

I would love some suggestions from the public. However I like saying ‘You’re the hero’ because if you be nice to people you are.

So there it is, the world’s first exclusive Q&A session with the North West’s newest hero. Our intrepid hero is looking to you, the public, for a unique catchphrase… tweet your suggestions using #CaptainMCR
