Electron Boy saves Seattle!

[via the Seattle Times and Geek Sugar]

The Make-a-Wish Foundation, that grants wishes to children with severe illnesses, made a little boy’s wish come true of turning him into a super hero for a day. 13-year-old Erik Martin’s day changed when he received a call from Spider-Man. He requested the help of Electron Boy, Erik’s pseudo-name. With the help of many Seattle and Bellevue volunteers, which including the Bellevue Police Department, Seattle Sounders soccer team and 250 Puget Sound Electric employees, Electron Boy rescued people all over the city while fighting the likes of “Dr. Dark” and “Blackout Boy.”

The day turned out to be bigger than expected, with several spectators cheering on Electron Boy. “This is the best day of my life,” he expressed.
