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?

49. To tweetiebird and other like-minded - I'll bet you'd change your tune if the woman he broke his shoulder protecting was your daughter, grandmother, mother, wife, sister, etc., That woman may never have come home to her loved ones if it weren't for his actions, crazy or not. Kinda puts things in perspective.

51. people who talk crap should look in a mirror to see if they have the guts like these guys to at least try to help out instead of criticizing their noble actions. Yes i know there not batman or superman but they are trying and that is something to admire in the tough times we are in.

53. "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?" Why do you ask this? Not like you guys at TMZ care...you all would be happier than heck if he gets himself killed so you have more idiocy to write about.

54. He's got the right idea but he's putting himself out there in a dangerous and kind of weird way. C'mon now, dude can't stop a bullet...maybe he as a bullet-proof vest under the costume?

58. I live here in Cincinnati and saw this on the news yesterday. I'm glad he is out there helping us but I do feel he is going to get hurt especially when he tries to help someone in need and someone sticks a gun to his head then what is he going to do? He should get his CCW's.

59. I think he must be a mad man, a bit off his rocker and maybe spent too much time watching hero movies that worped his brain. They say too much tv rots the brain, obviously he did not yeild the advice. However, I do think a guy regaurdless to stand for some good left in this world is oddly nice to see. SOme one not involved in the police dept's polotics and bull, a nomral guy, just a guy, trying to prove that normal dose still live on. A guy who justs wants a safer world for us all, I wish there were a few moer like him around. I know a lot of cops and they would not get in front of a bullet to protect me or my family, and yet they get paid next to nothing to protect and serve. Their wages are unfair for what they do so we need guys like this guy to stand up for people when the police cannot. If he wants to help catch a rapist, I wish him good luck and hope he's able to achieve that goal. There are so many sick people in the world, one less wont hurt our streets, it'll only make it safer for our children. Do we realy want to put this guy down or should we be honoring his hopes of working along side the police to get these people off our streets and where they belong. I'd love to get this guys mailing address to commend him myself, so please pass it on to him if possible, again, we need more of him. Though again, a bit off and unstable as it may seem his noble goals are rare in guys his age.

Thanks

60. More power to him! We need more people willing to personally act on things they see needing help in the community. I say Go for it! It's much better than the 90% of people sitting around on their butts at home doing nothing but criticizing those who try to help.
