Beware… The Shadow Hare???

Fictional superheroes may have blown us up, some street denizens come close to looking the part, but Stamford is lacking a full fledged superhero like the Shadow Hare of Cincinnati.



Ouch – how often do the homeless laugh at you, especially when you are handing them food.

Shadow Hare is one of many misfits committed to the real life superhero gig. Rolling Stone laid out the sad tale of Florida’s own Master Legend back in the winter. Many are listed in the World SuperHero Registry, a site on the forefront of 1995 web design.

Some fashion advice Mr. Hare. A cape may be part of the superhero aesthetic, but when you’re 5 foot nothing, 100 pounds soaking wet, it’s not to your advantage to lend a adversary something he can use to wrap around your neck and choke you out.

I’ll admit thwarting crime that happens to take place in front of them or feeding the homeless are noble tasks. It’s truly unfortunate that there are no public service professions they can pursue or organizations they can lend time to that tackle these same problems while sparing the public at large the site of their junk in spandex.
