The 20-year-old bar worker, who like the comic book star wishes to keep his identity a secret, buys sandwiches from supermarkets and gives them to homeless people.

He ventures out one or two times a week between 21:00 GMT and midnight.

The do-gooder even has his own Twitter feed – @brumspiderman – so people can follow his adventures.

“I’ve worked with homeless and vulnerable people for three or four years and love seeing the smiles on people’s faces,” he said.

“Then I thought ‘if they are happy now, imagine how much bigger the smile would be if it was Spider-Man giving out the food.'”

The real-life superhero already had a costume of the superhero left over from a party

He said he has always been a fan of the web-swinging superhero and already had a Spider-Man costume left over from a birthday party.

“The response has been amazing – there is an instant wow factor,” he said.

“People have seen me on Facebook or Twitter and they say what I am doing is really good. Some are even saying they want to do the same.

“I plan to do it for as long as I can.”
