First Real Life Deadpool, now this. A man in a Spider-Man mask was part of an armed robbery of a Wilmington, Delaware 7-11 Friday night.  Dana DiFilippo of the Philadelphia Daily News had the most interesting take on this, saying:

A man in a Spider-Man mask stormed a Wilmington 7-Eleven early yesterday morning and ordered the young clerk to hand over the contents of the cash register. The clerk complied, and the robber shot webs out of his hands and escaped by swinging from skyscraper to skyscraper. Actually, that didn’t happen. He and an armed accomplice in a boring black face mask

And concluding in a similar tone that tipsters should call the Daily Bugle if they have more information.  Setting aside for the moment the idea that armed robbery is no joke, the only flaw in her theme here is that she didn’t title the article Spider-Man: Threat Or Menace?, but perhaps she couldn’t get that past her editor.

Please, man dressed in a superhero mask, don't kill anyone!
