Shadow Hare, defender of Cincinnati!
I heard from [info]reijigin that some 21-year-old guy has decided to become a superhero. He wears a spandex outfit, and spends time handing out food to homeless people, and patrolling the streets of his city. He even "busted a shoulder" trying to stop a man from beating up a woman. He also calls himself the "Shadow Hare."

I'm not making any of this up. There's an article about it.

My first thought was this whole thing was... really silly. My second was that I found that I respected the guy. As dumb as this sounds, he can honestly claim that he's making the world a better place. How many people in his age group can claim that they spend their free time helping/saving people? To be honest, mine is usually spent playing video games and goofing off online. -_-

So, while I doubt that I -- or anyone else reading about him -- will be prancing around in tight outfits and saving the world, I've gotta say that I think he's strangely inspiring.

Meanwhile, I have to go mow the lawn. Toodles.

My first AND second response was "that's so awesome!". If I were a guy I'd be mildly tempted to try it myself. ^__^

I'm totally in favor of you wearing tight spandex and making the world a better place. ^_____^

I'll let you know if I ever get around to it. I'd be sure to have a WAY more awesome superhero name than "Shadow Hare" though. Seriously, a bunny? Bunnies are not hardcore.

I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them--

When I was a child, I remember hearing stories of a creature named Bunnicula... a red-eyed vampire bunny that could escape detection by even the most ardent monster hunters. Who knows, maybe this person heard the same stories... ^_^

My first reaction was "Aww, how cute."

My second was "I hope he doesn't go crazy. It'll be bad rep for us real superheroes."

I mean, wait, what? *hides cape*

I think he's awesome and I want to buy him a beer in thanks for doing it. I've always wished I could do it but I'm tiny.

Wasn't he originally a normal sized person, he was just really old?

Nah, his whole species is like that. The guy can't be more than two feet tall, and he can kick everyone's butts with mad skillz and awkward grammar.
