QuotePulling off a wish like this one required a big story, and a lot of heart. And so, with a note of panic in his voice, Spider-Man explained the dilemma: "Dr. Dark" and "Blackout Boy" had imprisoned the Seattle Sounders in a locker room at Qwest Field. Only Electron Boy could free them.

Deadpool got his powers BECAUSE he has cancer. That's close enough.

Given that his super powers consisted entirely of him opening locked doors in order to rescue people; make the the reward they gave him being 'the key to the city' seem somewhat pointless ?

QuoteLast year, we ran a story about Erik Martin, of Bellevue, a young boy with cancer who was literally transformed into his self-created superhero persona Electron Boy by the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Washington which created a day for him to save people in distreess in full Electron Boy costume, and to defeat his nemesis Dr Dark and his sidekick Blackout Boy.
As a result, he even received a custom made copy of an Electron Boy comic book to top it off.
The sad news is that Erik passed away this morning in Seattleââ,¬â,,¢s Childrenââ,¬â,,¢s Hospital. Eric had a short life. But thanks to the Make A Wish Foundation, he spent one day of it as a real life superheroââ,¬Â¦ heââ,¬â,,¢s certainly been an inspiration to many.
RIP :(

You know you're getting older when stuff like this actually makes you feel something profound. When I was a kid I was just like, "PSSSH CANCER'S GAY!"
I read an article a while ago about a 10 year old girl who was waiting to see Pixar's Up before she died, and so Pixar came to her house with a DVD of it because she was too sick to see it in the theater, and she died later that night. I was devastated by it. It's like, man Pixar you are doing Jesus' work.
