Hare-Brained Super Hero 'Scares' Police Chief

Don't expect to see a "Shadow Hare" signal lighting up the sky anytime soon -- for some reason cops don't think Ohio's most famous spandex-wearing, 21-year-old, 97-pound superhero is "trained" to fight crime. Pssshaw!!!!!

TMZ spoke with several Ohio officials who all seem to appreciate Shadow Hare's intentions -- but refuse to endorse his methods.

While Shadow Hare spends most of his time battling evil in Cincinatti, the Chief of Police from his hometown of Milford (11 miles away), tells us, "He's putting himself in jeopardy for something he's not trained for ... we don't want people to get hurt."

He continued, "It scares me a little bit... vigilantes can cause police to lose control of a situation... and he could end up hurting things"

TMZ also got a statement from Ohio governor Ted Strickland, who "encourages Ohioans to take necessary actions to help their neighbors, but feels that law enforcement actions are best left to law enforcement professionals."

For the record... Batman wasn't a pro either.

2. OK, in all seriousness...
This kid must be mentally challenged or something.
No one in their "right" mind would dress up in spandex and roam the streets to SAVE THE DAY...
He is smaller than the people he is trying to "protect" and who is going to be scared of him to stop whatever crime they are commiting........?

No one must've told him...

THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!

Poor kid. Wonder if his mommy knows he is sneaking out of his room to fight crime...


Does this weirdo have a history of mental illness? And he should maybe be locked up in a padded cell..........

13. Cincinnati

14. The way to be a super hero is to volunteer in your community and kick in some money to help them. The police have enough to do. If you want to be more active join a neighborhood watch or take the test and become a fire fighter or policeman.Vigilante law is not acceptable. His heart may be in the right place but we don't need more masked people running around.

15. Someone get him a job at Disney World. At least he'd get paid to look like an idiot.
