Marvellous Man

Any regular to this site will know that I save a special spot for any 'super hero' stories that cross my path. So it will come as no shock that I have reserved one post for Tom Roche .... a regular Spider-man.

Spider-man Had Plenty Of Practice With Burning Cars ....

 

He is a party entertainer who was driving to a gig in October 2015, when his spider senses started tingling ... What could it be? Was the 'Green Goblin' in the vicinity .... no. Doctor Octopus escaped .... no he's still in the insane asylum. So what was it he thought .... his spidey vision and spidey nose instantly supplied the answer, and he honed his senses on to the smoke pouring from a speeding car in the vicinity.

 

Spider Man Again (Daily Bugle)

Once again, the so called 'webbed wonder' (although as we have stated before, we prefer 'masked menace'), has been creating mayhem, this time in the environs of one of our allies cities, Adelaide in Australia.

Spiderman - Adelaide

He arrested an (Ed: obviously innocent) browsing shopper, assisted by his dangerous friends, a group of 'Jedi Knights', who blocked the door to prevent the thief (aka 'a shopper') from escaping, as 'The Flash' looked on.

Spider Man Arrested (Daily Bugle)

"Yesterday, the so called 'webbed wonder' (although we prefer masked menace ..... have you seen the damage his fights cause to our fine city?) was finally brought to justice this week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

He was apparently stocking up on spider venom when he was caught with at least 1,000 live spiders in his luggage, and faces up to a year in prison and a maximum fine of £1.4m ($2.3m). We trust that this will finally bring an end to his reign of mayhem in New York city. Byline: Jonah Jameson Daily Bugle New York"

Or so the story should have read in a more marvelous world.
