Spider-Man for real?

So apparently we have all been fooled, as Spider-Man's secret identity is not Peter Parker, but is instead Somchai Yoosabai, a fireman in Bangkok. For the news story see below:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7961208.stm

OK, this is kind of a heartwarming tale, although I do find one thing strange..

It says in the report "But a remark by his mother about his passion for comic superheroes prompted fireman Somchai Yoosabai to rush back to the station, where he kept a Spider-Man costume in his locker."

What the hell was he doing keeping a Spider-Man costume in his locker? Doesn't a fireman have more important things to do than hang onto a dressing up outfit in case he one day needs it to rescue an 8 year old boy? Do any other members of emergency services keep costumes in case of emergency?

I can see it now... a coastguard full of Supermen, able to fly out without helicopters. Paramedics all dress up as Green Lantern, able to use their power rings to temporarily fix medical problems and then fly them to hospital, and a Police force full of Wolverines. Because seriously, who'd mess with Wolverine??

Any other ideas for suitable costumes?

Private Detectives = Batman.

FBI = Hellboy.

RNLI = Namor the Sub-Mariner.

Veterinary = Deadpool. Because Deapool rules.

Special Black Ops = Rorschach. Nobody fucks with Rorschach. They'll throw you down an elevator shaft.

I agree with most of those sprog...

but Hellboy as the FBI? He'd just shoot things... :P

Batman should run the FBI

England doesn't do well for superheroes.
