Christian Tyler Hardee is “trying to do what’s right, in tights” as he patrols his town of Columbia, Tennessee. Dressed as The Viper and carrying throwing stars and plastic sticks, the 20-year-old crime fighter wanna be made one big mistake – letting the media know his real name.
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment. You can follow him on Twitter @MajorSpoilers and tell him your darkest secrets...

Surely the first rule of superheroing is “it only works in comic books, not reality,” – and thanks for setting back the “comic books aren’t just for kids” movement about 30 years!
I applaud a person for believing in making the world better and doing his part. Sadly, it seems to have only been met with derision from the complacent citizens but perhaps he will inspire others.
Seems to me that this guy saw Kick Ass one too many times.
I think this guy didn’t see Kickass at all…
i bet this guy was fully aroused every time he went on “patrol”.
and Navarre, throwing stars aren’t a key component in making the world a better place. Organize a neighborhood watch.
No, not the throwing stars, just the intent. I’m not suggesting everyone should dress up in costume.
But maybe someone will talk to him about it, he’ll express why he is so motivated, and it will motivate them as well. Then they can find the better common ground with the aforementioned neighborhood watch.
But wanting to be an active part of a better world isn’t to be ridiculed, even if his methods are unorthodox. I give him points for at least caring.
he reminds me of the guy in that movie “defendor” lol
This is my hometown. He should have been Mule Man
If we went to Detroit he could be Dead Man.
How is he not in jail? Its vigilantism a crime?
