Investigative Report: Dr. Pastel May be Real Superhero New York Has Been Waiting For

New York NY (GSP). Dr. Amar Pastel of the Upper East Side, may be the anonymous Good Samaritan that has puzzled New Yorkers for days now, says an astonishing investigative report. The report, which rocked New York this morning, has earned Pastel strong convictions that he is the real superhero New York has been waiting for.

Step aside Spiderman, Green Goblin and Ghost Rider - there is a new hero in town, and he's brown - the lovable, squeezable GSL embalmer and mortuary expert, Dr. Amar Pastel. Trading in his lab coat for sweatpants and his glasses for prescription squash goggles, Pastel has been linked to several impressive good deeds that have occurred throughout the city in recent weeks. Consider the evidence:

January 12, 2007 - brown man foils a purse snatching from an elderly woman.
January 27, 2007 - man with short dark hair returns quarter dropped by elderly gentleman.
February 2, 2007 - sweaty man seen delivering baby in steamy alleyway.
February 4, 2007 - man in checkered shirt and backwards hat refuses to participate in a spirited game of "spin-the-bottle."

Several friends of Pastel have made comments that there is no way these incidents are connected with their mild-mannered embalmer. Pastel's college roommate commented, "He would never leave his room! That is, unless his high school and medical school friends are in town. I just can't see Amar summoning the energy to go out to help people in need."

Others who know Pastel have disagreed. One said, "He must be out helping people in secret. I have no idea how he spends his time. He always says he is watching TV, but there is no way anyone can watch that much TV. He must be a superhero."

One thing is for certain: New York has been waiting for a man like Dr. Amar Pastel for a long time. Dr. Amar Pastel, superhero.
