Super Heroes never die. They live forever in the hearts of the people whose lives they touched and in the memories of men of good will the world over.
From Bleeding Cool:Erik Martin, Electron Boy, 14, Passes
Last year, we ran a story about Erik Martin, of Bellevue, a young boy with cancer who was literally transformed into his self-created superhero persona Electron Boy by the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Washington which created a day for him to save people in distreess in full Electron Boy costume, and to defeat his nemesis Dr Dark and his sidekick Blackout Boy. 
As a result, he even received a custom made copy of an Electron Boy comic book to top it off.
The sad news is that Erik passed away this morning in Seattle’s Children’s Hospital. Eric had a short life. But thanks to the Make A Wish Foundation, he spent one day of it as a real life superhero… he’s certainly been an inspiration to many.
