As far as superheroes go, he might not have the speed of Spider-Man or the stealth of Batman - but Whitstable's latest vigilante certainly knows how to get out of a sticky situation.

Parallel Parking Man, whose superpowers include sensitive hearing and aiding helpless women manoeuvre their cars, says he is ready to answer the call for drivers looking to reverse into tricky spaces.

"To get in touch, people just simply need to call my name. I have been blessed with very good hearing" - Parallel Parking Man

Wearing swimming goggles, cape, a flying helmet and underpants over his trousers, a video of Parallel Parking Man helping a distressed woman in a country lane near Clowes Wood has gone viral.

Leaping over a gate, he takes the wheel and executes a perfect parallel park while explaining his technique to the female driver and says he is also available for hill starts and three point turns.

More videos and stories of his adventures will also be included in upcoming editions of The Wind Farm, which claims to be Britain's favourite seaside blog.

The vigilante - whose identity we are keeping secret - said his quest to help bad drivers park their cars stemmed from a stretch in a young offender's institution after stealing cars in his wayward youth.

He said: "I was a 14-year-old car thief and I went off the rails.

"I went to Borstal for a bit and found the error of my ways. When I got out I decided to park people's cars instead of steal them.

"To get in touch, people just simply need to call my name. I have been blessed with very good hearing."

Asked if Whitstable was a hotspot of bad parkers, he says improvements needed to be made but added the issue was more widespread.

He said: "I think parallel parking is a global problem along with not checking your oil or water.

"Whitstable is a notorious spot for bad parkers especially at weekends and holidays when DFLs come down and think they can park anywhere.

"I would fly around the world to Australia if I could to help people.

"Having said that I can't fly, I can only jump out of trees and leap over short gates."

Despite his good deeds, Parallel Parking Man has received criticism for being a sexist stereotype but Wind Farm editor Andy Capon defended the superhero.

He said: "The adventures of Parallel Parking Man have been very well received. We have had so many comments and so many hits from the videos.

"He has been accused of sexism but the joke is completely on him. I'm glad to say a few of my friends have seen it and they get it."
