From the WTF dept. – A man wearing a spandex super hero jumpsuit calling himself the “Shadow Hare” has declared his own personal war on crime in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The 21 year old Shadow Hare, who won’t reveal his true identity, is patrolling the streets of the city and is armed with items like handcuffs, a taser and pepper spray which are legal for the general public to carry in the State for self defense purposes.
Shadow Hare is no Superman, though, since his physique is somewhat less buff (ok, the dude is a skinny wimp) but that’s not stopping him from carrying out his superheroly duties. He really is tackling street level crime head on and even injured his shoulder trying to stop a man from beating up a woman. And when he’s not battling the bad guys, he hands out food to the homeless.
Surprisingly enough, Shadow Hare is not the only spandex clad crackpot crime fighting maven on the mean streets of the U.S. He claims he’s part of a crime fighting syndicate called the “Allegiance of Heroes” which includes others like Aclyptico in Pennsylvania, Wall Creeper in Colorado and Master Legend in Florida. He’s even teamed up with Mr. Extreme in California to “track down a rapist.”
Now don’t get me wrong – I know that a lot of people dream of being a superhero as a kid, wishing we had super human powers to be able to fight the bad guys or turn invisible and fly up to that hot girl’s window while she’s undressing, but most of us grow out of that phase by the time we’re 13.
Oh, and if you want to hook up with Shadow Hare the Cincinnati superhero online, here’s a link to his Myspace page. When I visited the page, there was a message saying that he was at work and would be fighting crime later. I guess superheros gotta eat too.

Interesting article content, presented in a voice that makes me think the writer is a tool.

jesus christ, these guys are gonna end up dead/hurt and making problems into bigger problems, leave it to real authority and go back to your pizza and comic books, i mean almost all these guys arent even in shape. these are the same guys that go into the woods to do that live role playing wierdness, there living in a fantasy world except it will turn into reality when the bullets are real in the streets and not there crumbled up piece of cardboard they throw at eachother in the woods while yelling “Fire BALL!! I hit you, your dead”……. i feel like a chump loser just livin in the same country as these…these… damn i dont even have a word for whatever they are its that bad

Apparently he's no longer with his Girlfriend because being a Super Hero is his first love. ha.

I think these super hero dudes are sweet!
Apr 29, 2009
in all honesty the real superheros are the men and women serving our country
Apr 29, 2009
AWESOME.

no

Not sweet. Very, very sad. And what in god's name do they hope to achieve? If they want to dress up like that and play around, hey, non of my business. But they are in no way trained to handle an actual dangerous or violent situation. Maybe they can help, but more likely they'll just make things worse. They are going to get themselves or someone else really hurt. Have some respect for the police and the training they go through and head back to the woods and basements to play with your toys. Very, very sad.

Just be careful. The more popular you become, the more people will want to harm and even kill you.
There's some real scum out there & all of them will want a piece of you.

In response to the comment from Sarah:
One– You do not know his real identity and you do not know that he is not “trained to handle any dangerous situation or violent situation”, do you?
Two– No, he cannot STOP crime perhaps, but saving even just ONE life… sparing ONE person ONE traumatizing experience helps… the ability to change just one person's life is enough to make yours really worth living… what if YOU were that one person being saved? Would you bad-mouth him THEN?
Three– I respect the police… and a lot of times… they do help but a lot of times… THEY DON'T… I know that one from experience… sometimes there isn't enough time, enough people on the force… whatever the case… and the police cannot help… so, what if someone on the streets can? Who cares what they're wearing? Who cares who they are? If they save your life, spare you from rape or injury or mugging… isn't that what truly matters?

I admire your sincerity for this selfless individual who risks his life to help the under-privileged. (Sarcasm) Sara, how do you know that this man DOESN'T have police training? How do you know he hasn't served in the Army/Navy/Air Force/Marines or other military services? How do you know he wasn't a top-ranking boy scout as a child or a leading champion in the sport of Paintball?
It'd be better of you to assume nothing. You assume that he's a child in a man's body playing “Superhero” out on the streets, when it's exactly the opposite. The criminals out on the streets aren't his friends dressed as “The Bad Guys;” they're the REAL deal. I respect Shadow Hare just as much as I respect the cops. Heck, I may even respect Shadow Hare even MORE because he goes without being PAID. NONE of our tax dollars are benefiting him or anyone else in the Allegiance.
My statement to you is; question yourself and not others. Are YOU doing your part to fight against crime? It's not as simple as going up to a crook and wacking him/her upside the face. It's much more complicated than that; donations, the homeless, contributions, doing your job as a citizen, etc. All of this helps in fighting the good fight against crime.
Now let me elaborate about the latter.. doing your job as a citizen doesn't only mean getting to work on time and maintaining the roof over your home for your family. It also means abiding by the law which 99% of all citizens fail to do. This means the following: Every moment you slack off at work is a penny stolen..do your best to earn every penny you receive, Actually going the speed limit(at MAXIMUM) when driving, and Being sure that your horse does NOT consume the fire hydrant(in Iowa).
Well, I was kidding about the last one..although there are some strange laws.
From my view, people are way too pessimistic and skeptical. Shadow Hare is fighting the good fight. If you disagree with his noble deeds, then take a minute and look at yourself before negatively barking at the very people who help protect our nation.
Shadow Hare, the police, our army; they all help protect our nation against crime and terrorists. I'm not forcing you to respect them all; heck, MANY people find the tenacity to cuss out our President or even diss the United States altogether. I'm just saying your statements have no foundation, and the only evidence is going against you; Shadow Hare left a trail of good deeds. What have YOU done for our country?

This guy is awesome. So what he is in a costume! Have you ever wanted to be a Superhero? This guy is living his dream. He already helped one person being attacked. Ever heard of citizens on patrol? Or those freakin angel characters that wear the berets? They do the same thing…who are you to judge? I met the guy downtown and asked for my photo with him (for fun and to show people)…turns out he is a really nice guy and thanked me for my support…(which made me rethink my acting like an ass). I hope the guy stays safe, really I do.

When you come across someone like this guy, why is your first thought to publicly ridicule him? Can you tell me one thing that's wrong with what he's doing? What are YOU doing to help people and make a difference?
May 3, 2009
i think someone got a little too into Watchmen. And even if they did, those guys were at least in shape. Beef up, Shadow Hare, or some mugger's gonna kick your ass

I know a girl who lives in Cincinatti and she thinks this guy is hilarious. She heard that he hands out business cards so she looks for him whenever she is downtown but she has never gotten to see him =[ lol I want a business card too! I would love to meet this guy. Interesting article

How can you not love him?
The guys are just jealous because us ladies can't see him without smiling like losers.
Or because they have never had the guts to be a hero.
Allegiance of Heroes. I love it.
The costumes are brilliant, it further proves that they're not in to get famous.
Why must so many people be so ready to complain about them?

you are soo cold like a super me
Aug 2, 2011
Nice. Glad someone ordinary is standing up for what's right. The only problem I have is the business card thing because I think I can get him killled, but as much as I resent the card, does anyone have the info on the card?
