Thursday was shaping up to be just another school day for 13-year-old Erik Martin, but then something extraordinary happened: Spider-Man called.

Spider-Man happens to be one of the few people who knows that Erik, too, has a secret identity — he's Electron Boy, a superhero who fights the powers of evil with light.

And Spider-Man needed Erik's help.

Erik, who is living with liver cancer, has always wanted to be a superhero. On Thursday, the regional chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted him that wish with an elaborate event that involved hundreds of volunteers in Bellevue and Seattle.

The civs there look targetable . . . . . .

That said, scrapperlock!!!!!

Now call me any name you want, but regarding charities i dont really believe in giving a ton of money to them as such. I'ld rather be able to go over there myself and make a physical difference than a quick 30 second donation and job done.
