Waaay back in 2007 (remember the Aughts, kiddos?) I talked about Frenchman Alain Robert (known, much to Marvel Comics' chagrin, as "Spiderman") when he climbed the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority tower with his bare hands (see Spiderman in Abu Dhabi).

Well now it looks like to climb Dubai's Burj Khalifa: "French 'spiderman' eyes Dubai's Burj Khalifa tower: report".

Oh, I'm sure they'll love that.

Most people won't care, but I read this and was dumbfounded: "Venom's Secret Co-Creator Steps Out Of The Shadows".


Venom, of course, being one of Spider-Man's newest but most popular villains.

Crazy!
