Phoenix Jones, the self-proclaimed superhero whose videos of him thwarting crime have appeared across the web, unmasked himself Thursday morning at a court hearing.

Jones, 23, whose real name is Benjamin John Francis Fodor, appeared in court wearing his super hero costume, but was asked by a court officer to remove his mask as court proceeded.
