MEXICO CITY, June 4 — Moises Vazquez is getting ready for work.

Sometimes it helps to look like a superhero, especially when it comes to science.

So Vazquez, a 26 year-old professor at Mexico's UNAM university heads off to work.

It's a routine that is a little different than most of his peers.

And it offers a kind of street theatre as he heads to the classroom.

Vazquez, a self-confessed comic book fanatic, says he draws his inspiration from when Spiderman worked as an intern at the Marvel Avengers Academy.

The teacher-turned-Spiderman believes he is making the classroom a happier place simply by donning his costume.

The students appear to take it in stride

Vazquez says: “I don't work differently from anyone else. I don't think it is the best class in the world just because I wear a costume, but my intention is honest. It's a dedication, I just want to make the classroom a better place.”

While Spiderman is certainly making science class unforgettable — no verdict yet on whether the superhero is boosting grades. — Reuters
