Electron Boy Saves Seattle

Neatorama tipped me off to the fantastic story of Erik Martin, who always wanted to be a superhero. "The 13-year-old even designed his own secret identity as Electron Boy. On Thursday, his wish came true with the help of the regional chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Erik suffers from liver cancer, but he was ready to respond when Spider Man called for his assistance." Read all about his day in the limelight here. Make sure to check out the photo gallery!
