If the trend of Spider-Men roaming campus continues, UNC may just become the first public Spider-Versity outside the pages of comic books starring a certain friendly neighborhood hero.
Moments ago, dozens of spidermen flocked to Davis, the UL and the quad pretending to shoot pedestrians with spider webs from their wrists. If you have any information about this, please email university@dailytarheel.com pic.twitter.com/yxQdLgJFso

On the evening of Tuesday, October 29, dozens of Spider-Men were spotted at various locations — from Davis Library to the Pit — at UNC. The costumed heroes worked at computers, high-fived passerby and struck the classic web-shooting pose before leaving just as quickly as they arrived. A possible explanation for the sudden web-slinging shenanigans comes from the Daily Tar Heel Twitter account:
According to two members in the UNC chapter of fraternity Sigma Chi, the Spider-Men roaming various campus locations are from the fraternity, acting in an event planned by the individual costume wearers. This story is developing.

However the mass web-slinging was organized, the sudden influx of Spider-Men made for some fantastic social media posts and enough photo opportunities to satisfy even J. Jonah Jameson.
With Halloween night on Franklin Street — and an entire weekend’s worth of local celebrations to follow — just how much more of ol’ Webhead can we expect to see? Will downtown be flooded with friendly neighborhood Spider-Men? There’s only one way to find out, of course: swing by yourself.
