World’s Worst Super Hero
‘Florida Man’ describes all the weird news stories about random Floridians committing weird and dumb crimes, due to the state law regarding freedom of press about the fact that every police or court case must be public. Most of these weird stories are usually related to Florida men, gators, boats, the police and drugs.
Origin
Before the creation of the Florida Man meme, the state of Florida had already garnered a colorful reputation on the Internet, with the social aggregation site Fark hosting a ‘Florida’ content tag in the years before the Twitter account @_FloridaMan appeared.
The meme originated in February 2013 with the Twitter account @_FloridaMan, which quoted notably strange or bizarre news headlines containing the words “Florida man”, such as “Florida man run over by van after dog pushes accelerator” or “Police arrest Florida man for drunken joy ride on motorized scooter at Walmart”. The account referred to ‘Florida Man’ as the “World’s Worst Superhero”
