Real supervillains don't use Craigslist

Super Villain Attacks Cincinnati's Real Life Superhero. Your Move, Shadowhare

 [IO9]: When you build a real-life superhero team, you're only asking for trouble from a real life supervillain. The "Consortium of Evil" has placed a bounty on Shadowhare's identity. And so it begins.

A nefarious team evil doer, who is located somewhere on the "The Dark Side," has posted a Craigslist ad with a $10 bounty on the identity of Shadowhare. I wish you luck in the name of all things evil, and for those of us scarred by the great stretch of heroic spandex from the Allegiance of Heroes.

Read more about Cincinatti's real-life superhero team.

Read Rolling Stone's piece on the phenomenon of real-life costumed heroes in America.

When I read that story where it said "These superheroes patrol the streets carrying legal weapons..."
I imagined them carrying pistols in plain view in order to intimidate. Since in my state it's legal to carry a firearm in plain view.

When I first saw the news story on "Shadowhare" my initial thought was, "This is not going to end well." Now granted the Craigslist thing is rather amusing, but it's also kind of the first sign that I may be right.

And while we're talking about it, here's something else that bothers me about this guy. If you're going to run around in public wearing a damn costume, shouldn't that person be putting a little more time into it?

Granted maybe my standards are a little high after doing a bunch of conventions and seeing what folks do for them, but come on! Take some pride in your alter ego and hire a damn cosplayer to dress you or something!

Riddle me this, Batman. What happens when you pit larpers against mobsters?

Answer: Hopefully something that gets caught on camera.
