Spider-Man Moonlights as Window Washer at Waltham Hospital

The web-slinging superhero stopped by Boston Children's Hospital at Waltham today to surprise kids with his acrobatics.

WALTHAM, MA – Going toe to toe with the Green Goblin, Doc Ock and Venom apparently isn't a full-time job, as Spider-Man took a breather from crime fighting to visit the kids at Boston Children's Hospital at Waltham.

Spidey surprised patients at the hospital's Waltham campus Tuesday, propelling down the side of the building to clean its windows.

Though he's been spotted at the Boston campus several times, it was his first trip into Waltham, the hospital said. And after the job was done, Spider-Man took some time out to meet and entertain children and their families.
