Iqaluit has its own superhero! His name is polar man. I caught a glimpse of him at a fundraiser dinner and silent auction at the francophone centre. He was dressed in a black head covering and black face mask and seemed to be immersed in a video game. I was told that he does good deeds like shovelling walks for those who can't in the winter and always shows up (in costume of course) at community events. Apparently only his mother can convince him to take his costume off! I googled him, and here is someone who seems to have captured his essence nicely:

Words cannot express just how awesome I think this guy's job is! I have to admit... I'd kind of like a secret help the world identity :)
