Funnyman EDDIE IZZARD describes his ->-bleeped-<- tendencies as a "superhero thing", insisting he cross-dresses to fight prejudice.

The British comic was famous for dressing in feminine guise while performing his stand-up routines in the U.K. before finding international fame in U.S. TV series The Riches and 2008 thriller Valkyrie.

And Izzard claims he uses his transvestism to fight intolerance, likening himself to a disguised comic book hero.
