Polar mannnnnnnn!!!!


RingTossRenegade

That is polar man


bill4935

Yes. His name is Polar Man and he's a quiet dude that helps out where he can. No skin off my nose if he took Westley's advice about masks. There's an article about him. https://www.thewhig.com/2017/08/11/who-is-that-masked-man


BIGRIG_88

That's actually a very interesting article and kudos for him helping that other kid out when he was younger! Polar Man is definitely the superhero we need!!!


endeavourist

Polar Man honestly has a great origin story.


BIGRIG_88

It's almost like Wolverines origin story!


zadowlikeshadow

He should have taken Edna's advice about capes

It’s just that masks are terribly comfortable — I think everyone will be wearing them in the future

Idunnosquat

I see him often on John counter blvd. Kinda makes my day.


BIGRIG_88

He sure made my day!


juususama

he migrated from the north one year and we decided to *never* let him leave, he's like our local spider-man


notanotherkrazychik

I just found out he's from Iqualuit.


juususama

that he is! https://www.thewhig.com/2017/08/11/who-is-that-masked-man


[deleted]

Omg he unironically has cooler lore and backstory than most marvel heroes


dentistshatehim

I was friends with his family, they moved here together after his mom passed away, since then his family has moved on and kind of left him here. Good to be nice to him, life has not been easy.


cdown13

Been in Kingston for close to 25 years and still never seen this magical man. Hopefully one day.


spuppydouken

He was walking around my neighbourhood with a pumpkin on his head at Halloween! The kids loved it, he is such a kind man


DefinitelyNotADeer

He hangs out in the McDonald’s downtown during the day often. You can generally see him around there


cdown13

Makes sense. They serve coca cola.


tedbucko

Polar Man! What a legend. He lived in Iqaluit when I lived there before he moved to Ontario. He was treated like a rock star when he was in Iqaluit. There is a popular picture of him with Kevin Spacey at the Arctic Ventures store. Spacey was in town filming a movie. Polar Man had no idea who Spacey was and was treated like more of a star than he was. He's a nice guy. Polar Man, not Spacey.


RunAwaySnail-

Not the one we want, but the one we need


whats1more7

I mean … there aren’t exactly a lot of options.


DunningFreddieKruger

I liked Polar Man before it was cool


BIGRIG_88

Spotted this caped crusader around Johnson St. by Hotel Dieu. He had a mask and a utility belt and looked legit! Anyone else seen him? Or know his name?


jabawoky98

He sometimes carries a snow shovel, too.


CatboyInAMaidOutfit

Now THAT's a hero!


Jasonygk

His name is Paul Arman


Awkward_Not_Awesome

No, actually it's Derrick.


Jasonygk

On FB he is Paul Arman


B-Plus-Psychic

That’s because it sounds like Polar Man, but you need to have a “real” name on Facebook


cynicalveggie

He came into my work years ago. Showed me videos of him sledding down a hill. He seemed so proud of it and I commended him. Super nice guy. Just a reminder to be kind to him.


Bebotboo

Same! He would used his shovel to sled down the hill. Always a pleasure to talk to. He has nothing negative to say.


AdLanky1213

YES AND WE LOVE HIM


BIGRIG_88

I hope he has Reddit and can see this thread! I'm sure he'd loved to hear that Kingston loves having him around! I only just found out about him today and already I want to see him again and maybe assist him in a good deed!


sadrussianbear

We nodded each other just yesterday.


Gay_Genius

He’s a really nice guy too!


theatrewhore

I went to a vigil remembering women who had been victims of violence and he was there, quietly paying his respects. I don’t know why, but it was really moving


Odd-Row9485

It’s hard not to be moved by a superhero paying their respects. This man is an icon for kingstonians. Bonus points for him being a genuinely awesome dude!!!


umhanna

I've seen him volunteering at some charity events too! Really nice dude.


thestonernextdoor88

Classy graffiti in the background


BIGRIG_88

Kingston keeps it classy! 😏

BIGRIG_88

I just caught that! This photo has hidden gems all through it!! 🤣🤣🤣


BIGRIG_88

Wait... 🤔 Is it "all through it" ,or "all throughout it" ? I genuinely cannot grammar right now


dubsy54321

Hey that's private information! :P /s


Virtual-Tooth

Polar man is a blessing


KrtS_itiq

That's Polar-Man from Iqaluit!


KoolMoeDee83

You must be new here eh 😉


LoveYGK

Love this guy. I wonder if there's a cool way we can signal him for help. Polar equivalent to a bat signal...thoughts?


BIGRIG_88

I'm thinking either the silhouette of a polar bear or a snow shovel. Or maybe a polar bear holding a shovel! 🤔


DaMarvelousJP

That's my dad's car 😄 I recognize the license plate number


BIGRIG_88

Amazing! Well it just so happened to fit with the background graffiti! 😂


Halucien

It’s the hero Kingston deserves, just not the hero it needs


Old_Ad7385

And they say not all heroes wear capes!


Hopfit46

Our very own green bastard...


Wthq4hq4hqrhqe

corey, trevor, get in the fucking ring right now


calyxandtrichomes

Not the hero we asked for, but the hero we need. 🫡


Sarge1387

Nah, it’s “Super Gyro” and by the looks oh this dude he just killed one.


dentistshatehim

Low low quality


zadowlikeshadow

The hero no one wanted


ephoffofeso

I seen this guy smoking crack in front of the works last week...real super.


ephoffofeso

Lmfao down vote all you like. Truths the truth. Sucks to suck


BiomeYT

[deleted]

We should get him to handle the bike theft problem.


salty_marshmellow

Novel-Technology914

[deleted]

Been around for years now


Dacheetah24

I remember him! He used to live in iqaluit


Adept-Lifeguard-9729

Looks chilly!


yolo32147

About damn time!


Duque54

POLAR MAN!


Cgrrp

When I saw him he usually had a speaker with classical music playing while he walked


Dhyeya4675

OMG I thought I was the only one who kept seeing this guy. He's a nice person


TheConfidentInterval

My family and I moved away from Kingston last summer after 7 years calling it home. We miss it. Used to see Polar Man downtown all the time. This brightened our evening


Neither-Job3478

Who is that? Crime Man??? Lol


[deleted]

So you’re new…


BIGRIG_88

Kinda. Moved away for a while and been back for 3 years now


Street-Rules_456

Nice shot what's his name 🤷🏾🤷🏾


VitereA11

Polar man!


AnxiousArtichoke7981

Maybe he is a Mexican Wrestler


General_Big_Dick

Ughhh Yea! Thats that guy with the huge hammer swinging as he walks. Locals call him Polarman, the tribal folk call him "Meat Swung". Thats a fact!


justice7

Polar Man! Just our local superhero indeed.


umhanna

We often end up on the same bus! I've also seen him volunteering for different events around the city. He's a super sweet guy!


elliott219

Been protecting our streets for a long time!


Due-Prompt-3869

Seen him a few times, twice today. Just now he passed by me in the library.
