Watch #SuperKaheem race to the rescue and save the Nationals' Racing Presidents

A hero took the streets of Washington, D.C. on Friday. With the aid of the Make-a-Wish Foundation -- and the Superhero Council, natch -- the mild-mannered Kaheem, age 5, was transformed into Super Kaheem. It was just in time, too, as a dastardly fiend had kidnapped two of the Nationals racing presidents, along with the D.C. United and Washington Capitals' mascots.

The world's greatest superheroes lined up to meet Kaheem:

He joined up with the fire department because fires can still burn even when mascots are in danger:
