Sep. 28 - "Super heroes" prove no match for Thai police.

They may have battled to save humanity from mysterious terrorists.

But off the small screen, Japanese superheroes "Masked Riders" were just no match for the Thai police.

Since last Tuesday's bloodless coup, hundreds of people have turned up to pose and preen beside the photogenic armored tanks and soldiers stationed near government offices at Bangkok's Royal Plaza.

But four actors promoting an October "live" show based on Japanese television series "Masked Riders", appeared to push the military's friendliness just a little too far.

Covered from head to toe in latex super hero costumes, the actors presented flowers to soldiers and then posed in their best "superhero" pose for a gaggle of media the show promoters had alerted.

After ignoring repeated requests from police to stop their "show", the superheroes were driven away on the back of a flatbed police truck.

They were later released without charge.
