Man Buys Unitard, Declares Himself a Superhero

This is either really, really noble -- or really, really stupid. Or both.

Some gangly dude in a spandex outfit who calls himself the "Shadow Hare" is roaming the streets of Cincinnati -- dedicated to ridding the city of evil-doers. Seriously.

Here's the catch -- he's 21-years-old, he's built like a math tutor, and he has no known super powers.

But Shadow Hare -- who refuses to reveal his true identity -- still bravely/stupidly patrols the streets, carrying legal items like handcuffs, tasers and pepper spray.

The guy even busted his shoulder trying to stop a guy from beating up a woman. And he hands out food to the homeless.

But he's not alone -- Shadow claims he's part of the "Allegiance of Heroes" which includes Aclyptico in Pennsylvania, Wall Creeper in Colorado and Master Legend in Florida.

Shadow Hare recently told WLWT that he's even teamed up with Mr. Extreme in California to "track down a rapist."

So the big question -- is he noble for standing up for good and trying to protect his community ... or is he just some delusional moron who's gonna hurt himself?

7. I saw Mr. Extreme in his mask after a Padres game downtown. He was handing out granola bars and flyers or something.
A drunk guy asked him if he was still a virigin and to go get some beaver. Mr. Extreme looked pretty annoyed.

11. lol ok seriously it's kinda cute in a way. Who the heck cares if he's calling himself a superhero or not, the bottom line is, his intention is to make the world a better place. As long as he himself doesn't break the law in trying to apprehend criminals, then whats the harm in allowing him to play make believe as a super hero. c'mon what guy doesn't like to be a hero. and really what does a super hero do? ... stop the bad guys... I guess if he gets to a point where he stops enough of them, then maybe the world will start to consider him a super hero too. maybe to the people he's helped, he's a super hero... regardless, too many of us simply ignore the bad things that go on in the world, even when faced with it outright. If I'm ever in a bad situation, I wouldn't mind having that guy around :) you go super hero dude!

12. It's easy to make fun of people, but good on him for trying to make his community a better place.

13. Whatever anybody thinks of this guy,at least hes trying to to make a difference,even if its in a strange way.He may not be the best equipped person for the job,but maybe if its not a joke,he can bust even one person in the act,he has done better than most police officers.

14. He's got the right idea, I think. This method is just a questionable execution of that idea. I mean, yeah, he's probably gonna get hurt or whatever, but there is a battle between good and evil. And evil wins when good people do nothing.
