Almost every Saturday night in downtown San Diego, a team of real-life superheros outfitted in head to toe action figure regalia convene on the steps outside the Hall of Justice. It's a fitting location for the crime-fighting squad of volunteers that call themselves the 'Xtreme Justice League' and want to make very clear: they are not 'all cosplaying basement dwellers.'

The assembled cast of capes and helmets huddle their fists together in a circle to punch the sky in unison and shout their rallying cry: 'Extreme Justice!'

They begin patrol of the Gaslamp District around midnight, just as weekend revelries start to reach fever pitch in the neighborhood teeming with millennial night life spilling out of its nightclubs, restaurants and cocktail lounges.

Their goal is to ensure the safety of their others which could entail anything from breaking up bar fights, administering medical attention, assisting in drug overdoses, helping those imbibed by too much liquor and protecting the homeless community from hunger, violence and the cold. 'Basically anything we can do to be a good neighbor,' explained 'the Grim' – one of the league's longest serving members.
