We’ve all heard about heroes and vigilantes in different media. In a few cases, some even try to become one in real life and succeed at that. One such case is that of P*nis Man, who has returned to Phoenix, Arizona. While he’s been prowling the streets for years, this is the first sighting of 2025, and Phoenix people don’t know what this means. Is this a good or a bad omen? Could it mean something else? Is he the real deal or an impostor? It’s all uncertain.
The picture comes from Reddit user t1mb0sl1ce, who shared it on the r/Phoenix subreddit. As you can see, someone wrote P*nis Man on the side of a building. However, this isn’t the first time. If you take a look at some of Phoenix’s story with this vigilante, he has been around since 2020. He actually got arrested a year later, but in 2023, he returned. After that, it seems it was radio silence until this week, when someone spotted his calling card once more.
In the comments, another shared a picture of this person also painting a dumpster, meaning he’s still at large. As you can expect, this incident brought together the whole Phoenix community to comment on the unknown vigilante.

“Is the return of P*nis Man a recession indicator?” – fearthejaybie via Reddit.

A few keen-eyed citizens shared the whereabouts of the defaced location, mentioning it was somewhere around Tempe: “I think this might be the old golden pineapple at Mill and Alameda in Tempe,” said user capsicum_anum.
While many have taken this event in a lighthearted way, those who wake up to see the P*nis Man calling card on their buildings might not be too happy. Still, it seems this vigilante is a vital part of Phoenix, so this might not be the last sighting.
