Erik, who is living with liver cancer, has always wanted to be a superhero. On Thursday, the regional chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted him that wish with an elaborate event that involved hundreds of volunteers in Bellevue and Seattle.
Erik aka Electron Boy got a call from Spider-Man for help. He then rode in a DeLorean to Seatle to save the Seattle Sounders from “Dr. Dark” and “Blackout Boy” who imprisoned them in the locker room – and was escorted by more then 20 motorcycle officers from the Bellevue Police Department and King County and Snohomish sheriff’s offices.

He got to hang out with the team until the villains took over the Jumbotron to let Electron Boy they were going to shut down the cities electricity. Electron Boy was off again, will full escort and saved the day.
The city of Seattle gaves Erik the key to the city and proclaims April 29th to be Electron Boy day.

With script delays and original cast members committed, the axe has fallen on Spider-Man 4. With it goes the plans for the 5th and 6th movie that scripts were being written for.
Things looked good for the fourth installment of the movie franchise. This was despite conflict between Raimi and Sony on which villains should be featured.
As of December 8, 2009, names like Anne Hathaway and John Malkovich were attached to the film. John Malkovich was in negotiations to play Vulture, and that Anne Hathaway would play Felicia Hardy. Though Hardy would not have transformed into the Black Cat, as in the comics. Instead, Raimi’s Felicia was expected to become a brand-new superpowered figure called the Vulturess.
As of January 5, 2010, Anne Hathaway had been dropped from the film, while John Malkovich confirmed that he will be playing Vulture in the film.
Today it was announced that Spider-Mand 4 had been canceled.
Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood is now reporting that director Sam Raimi and his entire cast, led by Tobey Maguire, have dropped out. The Spider-Man movie franchise will be rebooted starting in 2012 with a whole new director and cast.
The new direction:
“Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012.
Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today they are moving forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.” – Sony Pictures
Seeming to still be on track is the Venom movie due in 2012. This movie will “spin off” of the first three Spider-Man movies. However, Venom will be portrayed as an ati-hero.
