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?

76. This guy is nothing, the real crime fighter is in Clearwater, Fl. His name is "SuperHero". He would snap this guy like a #2 pencil. He is a former pro-wrestler! The streets are much safer With "SuperHero" patrolling them in his "Suped-up" Corvette. Check him out on youtube, (Super hero clearwater, fl.) Dead lifts 405lbs like nothing. Think before you do something wrong in Clearwater, Fl. !!

77. HAAAAAA!
these guys are seriously delusional!

Nothing against masked vigilantes,
but this is just a bunch of out of shape douche bags, who probably got tired of playing dungeons and dragons and decided to run around the city in colored spandex....sad....so, so sad.

Though these guys are hilarious!
Too bad, there’s no real super hero alliance.
I mean, I could totally rally around some kind of "Watchmen" themed super hero group.
Honestly, no matter how ridiculously strange and insane these people must be. I could somehow always find a way to support a strong, ruggedly handsome man running around the city fighting crime, in tight pants and a cape.

But seriously! This guy even has a MySpace, where he posts updates on how much of a difference he is making, and what a great super hero he is. Doesn’t that kind of defeat the purpose of being a hero, if you have to tell people that you are one? WTF?

79. Hero. It's not like he's going around jumping off of buildings or trying to learn how to kill people with his mind. He knows he's not "super". Which is why the pepper spray, handcuffs. He's just some guy who probably feels like he wants to be more involved in criminal justice.
