Arguably the most popular character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man has just become a real-life superhero.

Better yet, the venue is not New York this time, it is Turkey's tourist hotspot, Antalya.

With his Spider-man costume, Burak Soylu helps citizens with their groceries and boost morales as the "Stay Home" advisory continues in coronavirus-hit Turkey.

Soylu climbs up balconies to listen to the needs of senior citizens, hand-picks fruit and vegetables for the needy and accompanies farmers in their routine work.

"My superpower is doing good for the community. That's why I do what I need to do for the people," he told Anadolu Agency (AA).

The locals are already very happy with their new superhero. "Today, Spider-Man brought us bread and milk. We love him," a local said.
