Meet your new favorite superhero.

This isn't your next Marvel feature film, but man, this is a good movie, I mean, ad. Here we have UberMan, and he wants to "save San Francisco from the incredible distractive and inconvenient transportation system."

Ride-hailing giant Uber is having a rough, rough, rough year so far. But luckily this little gem of a video was surfaced thanks to some dedicated reporters (h/t Harry McCracken).

Oh how far you've come, Uber. Check out Uber's old YouTube Channel for some other gems, like CEO Travis Kalanick saying, "A really big thank you to the SF MTA for really allowing us to bring great service to a city that really needs it."

Kalanick UberMan is out to "save San Fran," according to the YouTube description. Wait, don't you mean SF?
