\nKick Ass – Not Just a Movie<\/strong>
\nBy Carol Rucker<\/strong>
\nSometimes life imitates art and sometimes it’s the other way around, just like in Kick Ass, an upcoming movie that’s based on a Marvel comic book but also reflects a national Super Hero trend. If you know the story or<\/p>\n

\u00a0have seen the movie trailers, you already know it’s a tale about a youthful team of unlikely crime fighting citizens.
\nThese heroes<\/a> can’t fly like Superman nor can they scale tall buildings like Spiderman. The heroes<\/a> in Kick Ass have no super powers at all, nor any of the traditional caped crusader traits going for them…… but they can “kick….” Well you know. That’s where the movie title comes from.
\nMore Than Just A Screenplay<\/strong>
\nThe movie is based on a comic book drama that plays to the hearts of regular guys, those every day men and women who decide they’ve had enough with crime in the streets. When the regular guys and gals in Kick Ass decide to take it beyond mere talk, they take to the city streets fully adorned in super hero garb. They challenge bad guys and fight crime, a great idea for a comic book or a movie, right?
\nExcept it’s more than just a screenplay. Kick Ass is art imitating life. In case you haven’t noticed, real life super heroes<\/a> are everywhere, not just the stranger who fixes your flat tire or the volunteer who delivers food to seniors. Those people are everyday heroes<\/a> indeed; but there are also genuine costumed and caped heroes<\/a> in many cities; and you don’t have to go to the movies to see them.
\nCincinnati’s Super Heroes<\/a> <\/strong>
\n“Some scoff at me, others take me seriously,” Shadow Hare<\/a> said in a 2009 interview. Despite what people have to say, Cincinnati, Ohio’s super hero has been fighting crime on the streets for nearly 5 years. If your timing is right, you might find Shadow Hare at his headquarters, The Ionosphere. (the Cincinnati Segway<\/a> Dealership at Central Parkway and Vine) But you are more likely to see him gliding along the Downtown city streets on a Segway<\/a> with his lady companion, Silver Moon, nearby. Together they seek out crime and do what they can to stop it.
\nSuper Heroes Everywhere<\/strong>
\nYou can find details about Shadow Hare<\/a> on his MySpace<\/a> page and on The World Super Hero Registry<\/a>. There you will also find profiles on many more of the nation’s true life knights in shining armor. Here are just a few.
\nUtah – Like most super heroes, Insignis <\/a>wishes to keep his identity a secret. Masked and costumed in black and white, Insignis patrols the streets of Salt Lake City. There he fights<\/p>\n

\u00a0crime and does good deeds with help from the The Black Monday Society<\/a>.
\nArizona – Wearing black from head to toe, topped off with a gold cape, Citizen Prime<\/a> patrols Arizona streets. He not only fights crime, but also strives to promote good citizenship<\/a> in his home state.
\nFlorida – Dressed in black from head to toe, Amazonia <\/a>does double duty, working the streets in both Ocala, Florida and Lowell Massachusetts. As a founding member of the organization, Vixens of Valor, she is sworn to protect the innocent.
\nMichigan – You will recognize The Queen Of Hearts<\/a> by her black tights and the big heart adorning her chest. She does volunteer work, assists local charities and patrols the streets of Jackson, Michigan with her cohorts, Captain Jackson and Crimefighter Girl. She also teaches Jackson, Michigan youth how to recognize and prevent domestic violence.
\nThe movie, Kickass is coming out soon; and if you decide to see it, remember, it’s more than just a movie. It’s real life.
