“You’re meant to be saving us, Spidey!”—Fans laugh as man dressed as Spider-Man steals $10K in Pokémon cards from a Virginia store

Spider-Man fam! Brace yourselves for impact. In a twist that would give even seasoned comic book maestros a serious jolt of shock, a man dressed as Spider-Man recently stole $10K in Pokémon and other cards from a Virginia store. Fans unpacked it with humor and launched a wave of humorous reactions across social media platforms.

We did see Spider-man going through a rough patch, but this would probably be his darkest timeline. Comically enough, the man stole a pack of Pokemon cards, and netizens cannot stop wondering what it was for.

A netizen commented,

Was it for the secret superhero party happening at Thor's house? Or is it a teenager's casual flex to make his friends jealous? Well, who can tell? If there is one thing we know for sure, it is that the scene might have made some people think, 'Is this some prank?'

Maybe this Spidey came from an entirely different timeline altogether. In the multiverse of madness, anything can happen (let's be real, a man dressed as Spider-Man stealing Pokemon cards is not a scene we see every day, and neither should we!). But my wild guess is that web fluids are super costly there.

Have a look at the buzz before we go forward:

So if you still want to swing around the city and save lives in style, you rob a bunch of Pokemon cards dressed as none other than Spider-man himself. Imagine the plight of the detective uncovering the mystery behind this bizarre stunt.

Guess who would have smiled in utter content when all this mess unfolds? This would be a golden opportunity for J. Jonah Jameson (the man who was always launching attacks on Spidey through his newspaper) with his signature moustache and a grumpy face to launch a new story on his Instagram with a 'SpideyCaughtRedHanded' hashtag.

The editor of Daily Bulge would have had the time of his life writing about Spidey crimes and launching spies after him to click more pictures of friendly neighborhood Spider-Man turning unfriendly.

Do we see a wanted poster for Spider-Man every day? Obviously not. Naturally, fans scratched their heads in confusion, and those who were here just for the humor rolled on the floor laughing like a Pokémon just came out of the Master Ball.

I mean have you seen the rent in NY? I get it, Peter

Another user commented

"i guess we’ll have to wait till the movie to find out who he is"

One person pondered out loud,

"imagine getting robbed by spider-man and explaining that to the cops"

This netizen shared his thoughts,

"That’s not your friendly neighborhood Spider man :/"

Of course, the comic lovers were quick to catch the deal. Those who read the comics or even watched the films carefully are aware that when Venom takes over, Spidey goes from all rom-com mode to GTA real quick.

Last one before we sign off,

"that mustve been venom taking over"

As the rat and mouse chase occurs now between the thief and the police, let us watch the drama unfold (and wait for the real Peter Parker to dust off his uniform and get into the thief chasing, maybe?).
