Real-life local superheroes are inspiring change in the community
Remember, with great power comes great responsibility...
Are your spidey senses tingling? This Nigerian star has decided to dress up in a head-to-toe Spider-Man costume and inspire his community.
From cleaning up the street to highlighting issues about waste and a sustainable future, this environmentalist (Jonathan Olakunle) definitely does whatever a spider can.
Inspiring those that live in his community as well as generations to come by dressing up as a beacon of hope, strength, and resilience has resulted in this citizen becoming a role-model to those he encounters.

However, this role-model behaviour hits very close to home. Durban is lucky to have one of our very own hometown superheroes, @deadpool_south_africa_.
This hilarious, helpful, and kind-hearted reverse vigilante has KZN completely starstruck. Attracting fans from all over, drawing attention to important issues in the community, and, as he mentions in his creative content, he is "Here for the smiles" and definitely here for the community.
