Some of them are a little aggressive,but that's because the landlord they deal with wants rent money every second!I understand,though I'm a reap superhero I would stand and take pictures,but as soon as someone is in danger,I forget about posing for photos and go save a life!That's how real superheroes are!

    Those scammers are giving a bad name to the characters they are protraying: spiderman batman iron man etc. They don't deserve any tip their not doing anything extra but taking a pic and then one of the other performers tries to photo bomb the pic and charge double. All they deserve is anywhere from $2-$10. Nothing more. Remember when taking pictures with people in costume was only in department stores. I would rather give money to the people who have skill that do the acrobatics sing or play instruments on the street.
