In 2005, a vigilante superhero named "Shadow Hare" burst onto the scene, claiming to be skilled in mixed martial arts and carrying mace, a taser and handcuffs. His mission was to clean up the streets of Cincinnati and assist the police by making citizen’s arrests. Wearing a handmade black suit with a stylized hare on the front, along with a cape and mask, he patrolled the streets looking for crimes in progress and gave out meals to the homeless. Although not supported or endorsed by the Cincinnati Police Department, Shadow Hare continued his activities until 2009, when he vanished without a trace. He left behind a business card with a phone number, which has since been disconnected. Messages on his MySpace page have gone unanswered. Rumor has it that the man behind the mask, who would be in his early 40s now, traded in his cape for a military uniform, but since no one knows Shadow Hare’s real identity, there’s no way to confirm that.
