“DangerMan” The Urban Superhero Aka Roger Tinsley.

Why an “Urban” Superhero? Because it is about time we have someone “of color”, who can best articulate the needs and concerns in our inner-city communities.

Known for having a big heart and an even bigger appetite for helping people in need, “DangerMan” (AKA: Roger Tinsley), is an advocate for the rights of the under-served and at-risk youth in America.

Founder of the DangerMan Superhero brand and CEO/President of the DangerMan Education Foundation, Inc. (a non-profit 501 c3), Tinsley first introduced DangerMan to America in 1998 after being emotionally impacted by the death of a four-year-old.  The toddler was tragically killed on her birthday by a stray bullet from gang related gun fire.  Tinsley felt compelled to create a real-life superhero who could serve as a role model for school age children in under-served communities while addressing issues that specifically affected them.  Using his own money and resources, he created DangerMan the Urban Superhero. 

As a “real life” urban superhero, DangerMan promotes literacy, safety, and good health. He wages against bullying, gun violence and fights human trafficking.  DangerMan visits schools, boys & girls clubs and community events encouraging his audience with a motto of “No gangs, guns, drugs, alcohol or tobacco”.  He has traveled throughout America and Haiti, empowering children to live their best life.  “Protect, Promote and Provide” are the pillars DangerMan lives by.  The DangerMan brand has steadily evolved into the fastest growing superhero brand in the world and will celebrate its 20th year anniversary in 2018.
