No. They say with great power comes great responsibility, at least that’s what this Greenville Guardian says. If you’ve been downtown over the last few months, or online. Everything’s looking good. No fires. You’ve probably seen this web slinging wonder. Greenville Spider-Man on patrol. Since obviously I can’t swing around the buildings being small and I don’t have *** car. So why is an 18 year old dressing like *** superhero and wandering downtown? Is he *** Spider-Man or *** spider menace? Well, after we spoke with Greenville police, he is just your friendly neighborhood spider. Just recently, he rescued two people in the falls at the Reedy River. So I saw one of them slip. Fall and I was like this is, 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. When the spectacular spider isn’t making rescues, picking up litter, meeting fans, or just hanging out. So I turn on my EMS scanner and I listen for anything going on and I have notes of which street. I should be on the look for. The CPR certified social media star listens for people having breathing problems running to help until EMS arrives. My intention is to help the people of Greenville and protect and honestly spread kindness along the way. The social media sensation set to protect the city he loves, or at least make friends along the way. You know, it usually is friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, I guess this would count as more like *** friendly downtown Spider-Man. Now I know what you’re thinking, and we have the answer. That costume is dry clean only. In Greenville, I’m Peyton Frita, WYFF News 4.
