Superheroes at Work

By TChris

Move over, Spiderman. There's a new superhero in the crime-fighting game.

Shadow Hare may not strike fear into the hearts of Cincinnati criminals as effectively as Batman in Gotham City -- at 5'7" and lacking such helpful abilities as flight or web-spinning, Shadow Hare doesn't seem like much of a threat to criminals older than 12 -- but he's armed with a taser, pepper spray, handcuffs and good intentions.

And it turns out he's not alone in the superhero business. Shadow Hare teams with Wall Creeper in Colorado, Master Legend in Florida, and Aclyptico in Pennsylvania to fight crime as the Allegiance of Heroes. (Apparently all the good superhero names have been used up, Green Lantern having taken the last of them.)

Just one question, guys. Where were you during the Bush Administration, when the nation really needed crime-fighting heroes?
