electron boyWhat's that? Oh no, just something in my eye.

The Seattle Make-a-Wish foundation granted 13-year old Erik Martin his wish, to be a superhero for a day.

He got a call from Spiderman, asking for his help to defeat "Dr. Dark" and "Blackout Boy," who had captured the Seattle Sounders at Qwest Field. So, the boy donned his superhero gear and became "Electron Boy."

They sped down the 405 in a Delorean toward Qwest Field. The police even shut down the highway to set the stage. A few hundred people came to watch Electron Boy defeat the dastardly duo at Seattle's Space Needle.

It all comes together with the final quote from Electron Boy:

This is the best day of my life.
Bawww!
