[AC Challenge Thread] Crime-fighting Hobo

The Crime-Fighting Hobo
Like Batman, but dirty and homeless, and not just for pretend.
This malodorous vagrant lives on the streets. His modus operandi is to clean up the scum of the city starting from the very bottom of the barrel. Hobo justice is swift and fair.
How does our musty protagonist fight crime and protect the innocent? Is he the charismatic leader of an underground hobo militia? Does he have the power to communicate with urban pests and command a legion of pigeons, rats and stray cats to do his bidding? Does he assemble ramshackle gadgets from street refuse? Ancient chinese martial arts gleaned from studying thrown out fortune cookies? Maybe he just chases off muggers with broken bottles or swings a stapler around.
Create your very own hobo hero!
Deadline: October 16
For those of you who frequent the conceptart.org forums this should be pretty familiar; tens of artistic combatants thrown together in to an artistic arena, each struggling for the honor of being dubbed a master of the visual arts. Those of you who succeed will be bathed in glory and the blood of their competitors, those of you who fail will be exiled to a life of shame and isolation.
The aim of this thread is to try and spice things up a bit here in the ol' Artist's Corner. This thread is for entries in to the challenge or the discussion thereof. If you'd like to suggest a topic for the weekly challenge, go right ahead, but understand that the last winner of the challenge has total control over the task (unless they have won more than two challenges in a row, see rules).
The rules are simple;
RULES:
* One entry per person, per challenge.
* A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
* Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next challenge.
* At the end of a challenge, the thread is locked and a new one is begun.
* Stick to the challenge topic; no going off on a tangent.
* All formats welcome, whether they be traditional or digital; 2D or 3D; still or animated.
If you're looking for inspiration, check out the aforementioned conceptart.org forums (specifically the creature/environment/character of the week sections).

he has a crime-fighting hobo whom he calls 'spare change'

What hobo-pandora's box have you opened Scos
I'm afraid to click that spoiler. I'm not sure I want to know. I'll just keep trying to fuck everything. -- trentsteel
I'm going to try...
(But for some reason, the first thing that springs to mind is a drunk down-and-out punching the crap out of oscar the groutch...)
The Recycler!
The Recycler knows the importance of a dollar, or in his case, a nickel. It doesn't take a genius to realize that superheroes require financial backing. Without his industrial enterprises, Bruce Wayne would be nothing but a cocky prick. The Recycler prides himself in saving the planet in more ways than one. By day, he wanders the streets collecting cans. By night, he suits up to stop the criminals that plague society.

Hobo Samurai.
EDIT: Or Billy Idol on a bender (I just realised).
lol wow. totally is.
Oh you magnificient bastard.
Because he looks like a hobo superhero?
Man now people I don't even fucking know are calling me a bum? Fuck you!
Twitter
This is actually my favorite so far, for thinking out of the box while managing to be so obvious at the same time.
Nice! What does the B on his cap stand for?
it can't only be annoying to me o_O
BTW Zergling, that is badass.
GO SOX!
crowleston...i'm from providence.
"Maybe tomorrow I'll wanna settle down, until tomorrow I'll just keep movin' on..."
there's nothing wrong with being a bum
especially an artistically learned bum with a manly beard and really dapper hat.
even dogs can hit hard times
This half worked out the way I planned.
i adore the littlest hobo
In the spirit of the season, how about we go for a Halloween-themed challenge once this one's over... Like... Uh... 'The abandoned, haunted insane asylum for psychic Siamese twins and axe murderers'?
He lives in a cave!
Looks stylish. Love those cliched superhero poses in front of the american flag.
Spoilered for spoilers sake
I would buy that comic.
