There’s not one of us that doesn’t wish we had some kind of superpower. This kid in Bolivia really took that wish to another level!

According to a report, in Bolivia, a kid ended up in the hospital trying to make that dream come true. An unnamed eight-year-old boy was playing near a river when he happened across a poisonous black widow spider.

Without realizing the danger, and the fact that the spider wasn’t radioactive…duh…, the boy allowed himself to be bitten in the hopes that he’d become Spider-Man.

Here is the news report from Bolivia (it’s not in English but you can get the jist of it)

Three painful hours later, the boy told his mother what had happened.

After being rushed to the hospital, doctors were able to get a positive ID on what kind of spider bit the kid, and anti-venom was delivered…and the boy was stable in just a half-hour later.

He’s alive, just with no superpowers.

The 5 Lamest Super Powers In The Animal Kingdom

• The Waxy Monkey Tree Frog

  Even some frogs have cool powers. There are frogs with deadly poison. There are frogs that have suction cup sticky feet to give it an awesome climbing ability. Then there’s the dumbass waxy monkey frog. What can it do? Well, it can secrete a wax. Is the wax deadly? Nope! It… um… it keeps its skin nice.

  Protect yourself from the Sun this summer—like the waxy monkey tree frog! This South American native secretes a waxy substance that acts like a self-made sunscreen. Flexible hind-legs help it apply the protectant on its back to ensure good coverage. pic.twitter.com/iUOffW2mzX

• The Bird Of Paradise

  Some birds have incredible abilities. The eagle can see for miles and has razor sharp talons. Not the bird of paradise. What mighty powers was it given? The power to dance. Yep, that’s right… so it dances like Buffalo Bill to attract a mate. Not the coolest ability if ya ask me.

• The Cow

  Outside of being delicious, the cow doesn’t have many abilities. It can eat grass. It can run away from danger… but its farts are dangerously world endingly powerful. Their asses literally melt away the ozone like the laser of an evil comic book villain. Pretty lame, cows.

• The Grasshopper

  In the world of insects there are a ton of superpower-like abilities that are so very cool. The rhinoceros beetle is so strong that if it were our size it could literally punch buildings down. Even flies have super vision because of there crazy eyes. Not the grasshopper though. It can… hop. Yep, it can hop like really, really far. Oh and if they get emotional enough they can transform into locusts and eat alot. Very lame, the grasshopper.

• The Capybara

  The capybara is a giant rodent that resembles a gigantic guinea pig. What can it do, run at cheetah-like speed? Nope. Is it super strong? Not particularly. BUT IT CAN… take a nice warm bath in the hot springs found in its habitat. If you google this creature you’ll see it’s other ability.. which is to balance vegetables on it’s head. Two VERY dumb superpowers.
