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?

31. I applaud his chutzpah but I worry he could get himself hurt. And least donut eaters, err, cops have guns, He's got a taser and a quest for justice. The bad guys have asault weapons. Not exactly a fair fight.

34. Did my comment get deleted? Weird! anyways, I commend the guy for getting out there and doing something positive. He may make a difference, he may not, but he's out there and that's more than most people on the planet do. Also, do a google search for "real world superheros" you would be surprised how many there are and how wide spread. I wish him and the others good luck.

Plus he reminds me of the comic "Kick Ass" by Mark Millar, most of you don't read so you'll have to wait for the movie.

35. This guy could be doing the right thing.
As much as I an an avid superhero fan, I think it's best to keep it in your mind.
Good effort, Shadow Hare, but not today.

36. As long as he doesn't try to fly!

Even though it's a bit concerning and I feel embarrassed for him :-P, it's cool he had the balls to try to help the woman from getting beat up. Most people wouldn't do that OR acknowledge a homeless person.


Kudos to you, Mr. Shadow Hare!!!!

37. I hope his Super Power is not "Not having Health Insurance" when he is shot and admitted to the hospital.

38. There's nothing funny about this human,most inspire to become something great,some inspire to become a lowlife who criticize everyone while others simply live there life in gray areas....me myself truly wish to have courage to do what he does,he is very brave and in my minds opinion everyone wish to be hero but lack the courage like myself to do so....

Everyone what would you do if you had powers????
answers.i would become either a superhero,spy on girls,rob a bank or kill someone.

Everyone what would you do if you have no powers???
answers.Call the police,hide,join a gang kill someone or if you have courage help people if you can.

42. How many children go missing and are murdered on a daily basis. How many women are killed by their husbands and boyfriends weekly. How many rapes and other violent crimes are committed against our young daughters.

Do you really think a killer, a rapist and an uncontrollable husband will have mercy on this nut? Seriously? The violent crime will be against him & his spandex! Dude needs to get a real job & jump out of fantasyland! Next thing you know we'll have all kinds of these quacks running around, but most likely end up worse off than the actual victims. LEAVE IT TO THE POLICE & SHERIFF, THEY ARE WELL TRAINED PROFESSIONALS WHO DEAL WITH CRIMINALS ON A DAILY BASIS!! This clown was home-trained by a video game?????? WTF?

44. I know he believes what he's doing is for a good cause, But dude is just asking for it. Cincy is no place to fool around. Two shots and this fool will drop. I feel bad for him. BTW, Does the hospital know he's missing?

45. For those who have lost faith in people - What are you doing to make this a better earth? Cowaring with your tails between your legs like cowards - Because that what your sad life has become - one of a coward who can't even stand up for themselves
COWARDS
