He may be able to spin a web of any size, but does Spider-Man help people get over their fear of arachnids?
Well, that’s what Aaron Phoenix does. According to the New York Post, Phoenix has a collection of over 1,000 tarantulas, which he uses to help people who are scared of spiders.
Phoenix travels throughout England with his eight-legged friends, hoping to turn spider fears into spider fans.
“A lot of people are fascinated with spiders so helping someone get from the point [of] being petrified to then holding a spider in their hand is amazing,” Phoenix says. “[Nine out of 10] times I’ve got to them to the point where they can hold one.”
As noble as Phoenix’s mission is, J. Jonah Jameson will still probably call him a menace.
