Greenville Spider-Man, an 18-year-old local superhero in his South Carolina town, recently rescued two people stuck on the waterfall at a downtown park, demonstrating his dedication to serving the community.

Known for patrolling downtown and interacting with fans, he was in the right place at the right time to help those in need.

Greenville Spider-Man explained his actions during the rescue.

"I saw one of them almost slip and fall, and I was like, alright, this is time to go. And I booked it over there and I jumped over some rocks to get over there. And thankfully, there was an indent to where I could put my feet like this and prop myself up. And then they grabbed my wrist, and I pulled them up," he said.

4. So cool. Reminds me of a local "Spider Man"

I worked in an office with a young woman who had lost a son to leukemia. The child's favorite superhero was Spider Man.

His older brother periodically dons a Super Man costume to go and visit other children in the hospital ward. It makes their day and gives them a few minutes of levity. This young man IS a super hero, costume or not.

It's good to be reminded that there are good people in the world still. Thanks for sharing the story of the Greenville Spider Man, Steve.
