Spider-Man can apparently do whatever a spider can and that includes attending a class at the prestigious University of Tokyo. As he quietly sits in the front row of a regional geography lecture, we can’t help but wonder why his Spidey sense brought him to a boring lecture hall when he could have been swinging from the skyscrapers of Tokyo or turning into a dumpling.
It all started when Spider-Man showed up to class…

We wish Spider-Man climbed up the walls and swung from the ceiling, giving those lifeless Todai students a bit of cheer for a brief moment in their test-filled lives. But it appears that after striking a pose, our masked hero settled back into “attentive student” mode and it was back to business as usual. Let’s hope the professor gave him extra credit.
