Hey, rat. You better think twice about coming to this town and soiling it with your dirty business. Phitsanulok province in Thailand now has its very own Superhero team, the Superhero Volunteer Community.

The teen superheroes put on their Superhero suits, and like all good superheroes, they help the public.

Facebook page Rescue Volunteer Thailand shared photos of a 16-year-old superhero, who would not reveal his true identity, sweeping the road near the train station. Social networks were quick to note how awesome he is.

The hero says he goes by the name Guardian, and he’s the founder of the Superhero Volunteer Community, a society of teenagers who wear superhero outfits and help out locals around town.

But what about the suit? Guardian said he designed it himself and had it custom-made for 2,800 baht.

The teen in the purple suit added that he wants to build up a society full of people who wouldn’t hesitate to contribute to the public.

So far, the Superhero Club has ten members and has been doing community service for four months.

The Superheroes help out by doing the simple tasks such as picking up garbage, sweeping the road and helping seniors cross the road.
