(CNN) — This webslinger got to live out a childhood fantasy.
Six-year-old Mable (last name not given) has leukemia, and, just like "Batkid" in 2013, had one wish she wanted fulfilled: to be a superhero for a day.
The Children’s Wish Foundation and the city of Edmonton, Alberta, dedicated an entire day to "Spider-Mable" (or #spidermable)
When "Spider-Mable" learned on a "newscast" that Edmonton Oilers captain had been kidnapped, she swung into action.
Edmonton’s premier Rachel Notley got in on it, as well as the Edmonton Police.
Thanks again, #SpiderMable! Watch sights & sounds from our hero’s special puck-drop | VIDEO > http://t.co/Pf3NqXUwTs pic.twitter.com/La3B2UwaNG

She met with the mayor and other officials to solve the crime, and her Spider sense led her to the zoo.
It was all in a day’s work for Spider-Mable, true believers.
And there may be hope yet for a female "Spider" hero to hit the big screen, as this video imagining the new popular Marvel character Spider-Gwen went viral on the same day.
