French Spider-Man Much More Awesome Than Japanese Spider-Man

Written by Dan Seitz / 09.02.10

Alain Robert has made a living out of climbing the outside of buildings, which happens to be hugely illegal and gets him arrested a lot. He can pull it off because he’s exceptionally well-conditioned and doesn’t use any equipment. Yep, it’s just his bare hands and some climbing shoes, and he usually gets to the top of the building. This is why he’s got the nickname “French Spider-Man” and that’s what got him arrested (again) in Australia.

Yep, Alain hauled himself up a 57 story building, mostly because he felt like it, and at the top the police were waiting for him. Unlike most of his arrests, it looks like the Australians, of all people, are the ones planning on throwing him in jail. We’ve just got one question…how?

Also, as a note to the news media…”Spider-Man”, not “Spiderman”. There’s only been a hugely successful franchise with the proper name, plus decades of cartoons, plus a search engine called Google that can help you if you’re not sure.

Oh, and if you thought I was joking about there being a Japanese Spider-Man, I’m not.
