There is no denying that the world is in absolute need of superheroes.

While having the friendly neighbourhood Spiderman around to help us fight the bad guys would not be a bad idea, a few underground dancers dressed up as the superhero and performed in a subway in Russia.

The dancers entertained people travelling in the subway while jumping up and about donning the Marvel superhero’s costume.

 The dancer gives a traveller a fist bump during his performance.

People watched with absolute awe as they danced their way to glory effortlessly entertaining the passerbys.

Spider-Man is a superhero created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko.

He first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 in the Silver Age of Comic Books.

St. Petersburg is a Russian port city on the Baltic Sea.

 The dancers perform as travellers watch them in awe.

It was the imperial capital for 2 centuries, having been founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, subject of the city's iconic “Bronze Horseman” statue.
