Flash Saves Little Boy In Real Life

Posted by xerox_kitty (15758 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago - Show Bio

This is a couple of weeks old by now. It's been ReTweeted into my Twitter feed, and the story is so sweet that I just had to share it with everyone.

A little boy was separated from his father at a comic con (before SDCC 2011). Reacting as all little kids do in this situation, he freaked out & burst into tears. The little lost soul chilled out & calmed down upon seeing his favourite superhero, The Flash! It seems that he ran up to the DC speedster (and beautiful Justice League colleague Wonder Woman) because he recognised the hero.

Any jaded 'grown ups' will just see a couple of geeks in costumes. Personally, I see two really nice cosplayers living up to their chosen roles by helping a little boy. But in the eyes of this little boy he was saved by real super heroes. You don't get much sweeter than that! Kudos to the anonymous Flash & Wonder Woman!

I can't help but wonder what the guys from the Big Bang Theory would have done if it was them. Dr Sheldon Cooper-Flash, to the rescue?

It just goes to show that we have heroes in our real world as well. They might not save the world, but every little bit helps.

That is so cool! A good arguement against anyone who says comics are just for entertainment :-) Hardly! they inspire too!

(and on a side note, that lady makes a really epic hot WW. Most ppl can't pull it off)

O.O I betcha this would've been a completely different article had the boy found Darksied instead.

I think a similar event happened in brazil where a kid wearing a spider-man shirt was walking down a street and saw a women outside of her house because it was on fire and her baby was still in there.The boy then ran up to the woman and said "Don't worry Mam,I'm spider-man and I'm going to save your baby!".He then ran into the flaming house and actually rescued the baby.

@CrimsonCake : Are you serious? The lost boy think at the comic con was sweet, but that kid with Spider-Man's shirt... it's a real hero we're talking about.

It's not normal to do what he did, it takes a lot of courage...

#38 Posted by htb106 (1641 posts) - 1 year, 10 days ago - Show Bio

that's a really nice story, I really like that,

Also wasn't there a story a few months ago in which a boy saved his entire class from being driven off of a bridge because he did something he saw in a comic book?
