Thai 'Spider-Man' rescues autistic child
It's nice to know that, despite him selling his soul and cheating on his wife in America, Spider-Man's still a hero in other countries.

An unusual disguise has helped a Bangkok fireman rescue an eight-year-old boy who had climbed on to a third-floor window ledge, Thai police say.

	D'awww. That's awesome - although honestly, Thai must have some crazy ass fire drills. I'm jealous. (Reply to this)

	But a remark by his mother about his passion for comic superheroes prompted fireman Somchai Yoosabai to rush back to the station, where he kept a Spider-Man costume in his locker. ! The context provided below helped, but at first I wondered what the guy's issues were. Nice story. (Reply to this)

	Yes, after hearing "he ran back to his locker to get his Spider-Man costume, my first thought was "Clearly, he is Spider-Man!" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes. In some ways, he's more Spider-Man than that guy in the second picture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Motto times one zillion. At last, a superhero who exists in real life and actually does something heroic. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think it's damn awesome that he'd have a Spidey suit AND an Ultraman suit at the station. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	...where does it say he has an Ultraman suit? I don't see anything about that in the article. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Read it in the Yahoo News article (here). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's like the crowning moment of heartwarming there. :D BTW on the scan, why's Spidey's mask scowling? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	In the scan's defense, that was when Paul Jenkins was on, and it was actually worth reading most of the time... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think it's just the position of the mask and the way Buckingham draws it... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hooray for Thai Spiderman! But I must wonder why he kept a Spiderman outfit in his locker just in case... kind of odd. But boo for anything involving One More Day and the current "god I want to throw a bucket of water on whoever decided it was a good idea" shit going on in Marvel. >:( (Reply to this)
