In the words of the ever popular Peter Parker, “With great power comes great responsibility,” and no one takes that more seriously than Spider-Man’s biggest fan, Aydin Pedone.
“He’s become like a celebrity here,” said Edward Anthony, the owner of Atlas Jiu Jitsu. “He walks in the door, and everyone knows who he is, wants to help him, because of how he handled himself.”
“I feel like there are more people supporting me than there used to be,” said Pedone.
