Marvel Mistake: Bolivian Boys Let Black Widow Bite Them in Attempt to Become Spider-Man

Three brothers between 8 and 12 years old were hospitalized earlier this month after they each attempted to recreate comic book superhero Peter Parker’s origin story and obtain similar arachnid abilities.

During a COVID-19 novel coronavirus news briefing on Saturday, Bolivian Minister of Health Virgilio Pietro issued a warning to parents, highlighting that children can view fantasies presented in movies and television shows as reality. 

The health official explained that the three siblings had come across a black widow spider while herding goats in the province of Chayanta. Being fans of Marvel’s Spider-Man, the children somehow developed the idea that a bite from the highly venomous spider would result in the same powers obtained by Peter Parker via a radioactive spider bite. 

To test this theory, each boy waited to be bitten by the spider as another sibling prodded the arachnid. 

A final transfer took them to the Hospital Universitario La Paz, where they were treated for muscle pains and aches, sweating, tremors and fevers. They were ultimately released from the children’s hospital on May 20.
