Among the hundreds of pilgrims in attendance at the Pope's General Audience, many were surprised to see New York's very own Spider-Man.
The famous superhero personally met the Pope, and gave him his mask as a gift.
-'There are also many children here who would like to say hello to you'.
-'Thank you Holy Father'.
-'Go say hi to the kids afterwards...'
Spider-Man's real name is Mattia. He has visited thousands of children in hospitals throughout Italy. During lockdown he made 1,400 video calls to sick children.
