Mystery in the UK: Spider-Man to the Rescue of the Homeless

Residents of Birmingham strolling the city streets in recent months have often witnessed a surprising sight: a life-sized Spider-Man offering food to the homeless on benches and sidewalks.

The individual behind this unusual sight is an anonymous young man from Birmingham who works as a bartender during the day and feeds the hungry in the evenings. "I believe all humans are equal and that we should help everyone as we would help a close friend," he conveyed in a message sent to a website that wrote about him. Birmingham, where he operates, is the second largest city in the UK and has the highest number of homeless people in the kingdom.

Why does this British young man prefer to perform his acts of kindness while wearing a Spider-Man suit? Besides the fact that the costume preserves his anonymity, he claims that his unconventional attire encourages others to join in helping the homeless in their city. "When I used to distribute food to the hungry before, no one noticed. But when I started walking around in a Spider-Man suit, people began approaching me and asking what I was doing. They got interested in my initiative, and as a result, quite a few have decided to take action for these homeless people too."

The Birmingham Spider-Man even opened a Facebook page under this name, hoping to inspire others to start thinking about the needy people right around them. "I'm not accepting money donations," he emphasized in a post on his Facebook page. "Instead, I encourage people to get involved and feed those who need it."
