GUELPH A real-life superhero in Guelph is giving the community a reason to smile. “I always liked Spiderman as a kid,” explained Brandon Bott aka Guelph Spectacular Spider-Man. “I always dressed up and was running around causing ruckus at my house.” Bott got into cosplay about six years ago, bought a few Spidey suits and began making appearances at local events. With the pandemic putting many events on pause, this Spider-Man started doing distanced visits last month for kids around Wellington County and Waterloo Region. “I think it s amazing! Spider-Man is such an awesome character and he brings so much joy to everybody young and old,” said Jennifer Florence who had a distanced visit with Spider-Man.
