@superteach12834: I (42M) am a high school teacher in NYC. I think one of my students (M) is secretly a superhero. I'm not going to disclose his age or who or which superhero in case someone traces this account. As far as I can tell this doesn't affect his schoolwork and he usually seems fine but I'm worried about him. I don't know what to do. I don't know if anyone else knows. Should I tell him I know so I can help or stay quiet?
-- @redredredd: huh cool who is it? didn't think there wre any school age supers
---- @DumbAvocado: He literally said he wouldn't say who??
-- @MITmorelikeLIT: I have a similar situation! I went to school with Tony Stark, it's super cool knowing a super! You should ask for an autograph!! Wish I had back when I had the chance yk?
---- @kitten_cat32: How is that the same situation? completely different lol
---- @yurmomhaha: also really bad advice? he shouldn't tell the student, mutants can be really volatile, who knows what he'd do if he knew his teacher knew his secret?
------ @xmenmeup: omg he didn't even say he was a mutant get ur hate away from me. what kids need is support from the adults around them.
----@superteach12834: Thanks for the advice @MITmorelikeLIT. Unfortunately I think our situations are quite different.
--@wordsofwishdom: Hmm that sounds like a really complex situation. I understand you can't give more info but I think the way you should proceed depends on the details. As a teacher with a duty of care, you must be in a tough position. You're meant to report anything that could be dangerous to your students, but in this world that's largely anti-mutant (even if he's not a mutant) reporting your suspicions could cause more harm than good. Probably the best thing to do is try to find out if anyone else knows. If the student/hero has a good support network already, I would recommend not interfering. If you're worried he has nobody to rely on, maybe consider presenting yourself as an option or recommend he tells someone else who can be there for him. Being a teenager is hard enough without the added responsibility of superpowers.
----@superteach12834: Thank you, that's really helpful.
--@PINAPPLEMAN: You should tell the Avengers! They'll know how to deal with a superhero.
----@fredwasright: the Avengers don't have time to deal with every superpowered person in NYC lmao what do you think Captain America is going to go to a school to check the kids are okay? no he has better things to do
------@superteach12834: Actually I have a way of contacting Captain America if its needed. Do you think this is a good idea?
--------@PINAPPLEMAN: Um? Yes?? That is so cool can you give me Cap's number?
--------@kitten_cat32: I don't know, might be best to stay under the radar. at least you know it's an option if things escalate or you think he needs help in future?
--@kitten_cat32: hey so I'm reasonably invested in this story and its been months now. did anything happen?
---- @superteach12834: Yes. A few people have asked - I'll make a post
@superteach12834: So its been 4 months since my original post. After some subtle feelers I'm confident his best friend, guardian and maybe even an Avenger know about his situation so I'm less worried about getting involved. Still, I've covered for him a couple of times in school and dropped enough hints that I think he knows I know, but neither of us are saying anything for sure. Plausible deniability and all that. He knows he can ask for my help if he needs it, but for now my problem has been resolved.
--@kitten_cat32: thanks for telling us! glad it went ok
--@beepb00p: aww that's so boring I would have gotten involved , maybe u could be a hero too!!
----@superteach12834: Some would say that teachers are the makers of heroes.
------@beepb00p: that is such a cringe teacher thing to say lmao
--@PINAPPLEMAN: WOAHH is the Avenger Cap? Did you phone him??
--@MITmorelikeLIT: hey glad it worked out if you ever need help I can reconnect with Tony if u like
@delideli4: Hi r/my student is a superhero. Not sure my story fits here exactly, but I was surprised it even existed so close enough. I (32M) am a teacher. I'm currently on a school trip and one of my students was sneaking off. I thought they were just being a teen, but I saw them do some things that shouldn't be humanly possible. Displays of possible super strength and enhanced hearing. What I really wanted to ask was what should I do if I think one of my students is enhanced, but as I type I'm beginning to put together other strange things and I'm wondering if maybe they are a superhero. And even as I think I might know which one. What should I do?
--@DJgrimeL: Report them. All superhumans need to be registered under the Accords.
----@SammiSimp: um were you not here for the bit where they fixed the inhumane accords? even if it was still legally required its a teachers duty to protect their students.
--@UpAndAway45: lmao OP realising their student is a superhero in real time::
--@pewpewgoons: omg imagine if this teacher and the other superteach one are talking about the same student?
----@dustphobic: can you imagine lol it took this one an extra 6 years to figure it out
----@kikalemon: How do you even remember that it was literal years ago haha but yeah that would be funny
------@pewpewgoons: I got dusted so it was only like a year ago for me. if the superstudent got dusted too he could still be in high school so maybe? should we tag the superteach?
--------@kikalemon: sure haha @superteach12834 come look at this
--@superteach12834: Lots of people have tagged me here and after reading I understand why. Seems like a very familiar situation. Almost too familiar... I too am currently on a school trip with the same student from before. And he is being very suspicious. And there is only one other teacher on this trip.
----@pewpewgoons: okay I was joking. but I was right?
----@dustphobic: I'm imagining two teachers staring at each other over their phones rn having a crisis
------@kikalemon: You are so right somebody needs to draw this asap
----@delideli4: ROGER?
------@WATERGIRL~: OMG I CAN'T its real
------@pewpewgoons: what have I done
------@dustphobic: HAHAHA I can't hahaha ROGER
@Spider_soup: I am not a teacher and my student is not a superhero. But somehow nobody has said it yet so I will. Remember this post from last week? Remember this article from the Bugle yesterday? Anyone connecting any dots here or is it really just me?
--@pewpewgoons: I didn't say anything bc I'm still in shock but yeah. his teachers knew apparently.
----@DJgrimeL: yeah and they even said he was 'acting suspicious' but y'all said they shouldn't report him look how that worked out
----@superlambanana: sorry can we go back to the fact that two teachers figured out SPIDERMAN was in their class and posted about it on reddit?
------@kikalemon: It's got a hyphen. Spider-man.
--------@superlambanana: he killed a man I don't care how he spells his name.
--@PaNcAkE_city: omggg Peter Parker was the student all along!!!!
--@ladymelone: didn't superteach/ROGER say he thought one of the avengers knew?
----@tigress67: yeah iron man duh didn't you watch the clip
--@LUdeservedbetter: IDK I think u might be jumping to conclusions. Nobody would have guessed SM was so young, maybe it was a different hero they were talking about
----@tigress67: name one other NYC superhero with a secret id
----@readi0s1l3nce: Maybe I would believe that if the teachers weren't being suspiciously silent.
------@PaNcAkE_city: they literally just found out a kid they know killed a guy give them a sec
----@spotty<3: I understand your point, but both teachers said they said they were on a school trip, and Peter's class was on a Europe tour. That's why Spider-Man was in London, and he's also been linked to 'Night-Monkey' in Prague, where the tour also went, so the evidence does seem to add up for this one. For locations I got info from his classmate's videos, @/flash.mob on most social media for anyone who's interested.
------@PPPSftw: so now we're stalking kids?
--------@buubleboy8: he was a hero and now he's a supervillain, he doesn't get to be a kid
----------@PPPSftw: spider-man wouldn't kill for no reason. have some faith. besides, I meant his classmates. the ones that people are now conspiracy-board tracking across europe apparently
--@sillysuzieb: lolol can't believe spidey was in school all along!
@wigglyJoe: hey guys I'm confused is this an unused roleplay thread or smth?
--@buubleboy8: idk man didn't even realise it was here until I got the notif haha
----@superlambanana: same? weird.
--@SammiSimp: Not sure. Just a haunted empty thread with a. bunch of mystery followers I guess.
----@dustphobic: *touches ground* something happened here
------@dustphobic: not sure what, but something.
@incorrect-xmen47: Hi my name is Charles Xavier what do you do in the hypothetical situation where your students are plotting a massive prank and you can tell. No proof but you can tell. Not because you have mind reading powers or anything. Anyway they're planning something big and bad. Should you punish them before so it doesn't happen or do you have to wait for after?
--@LUdeservedbetter: HAHAHA
--@UpAndAway45: This isn't that funny?
--@yurmomhaha: mutants aren't something to joke about. the situation isn't funny. they are dangerous and you shouldn't romanticise them. blocked.
----@quebert: wth???
--@Lee(vemealone): why does this thread even exist lol
@superbigbrain: When your superhero student sneaks out the window for the third time in a row thinking he's being subtle: *gif*
--@superbigbrain: When he comes back 30 mins later smelling of smoke with his supersuit obviously showing under his shirt: *gif*
----@larrylobster: I've always wondered why this hyperspecific empty thread exists and why the reddit gods decided I was following it. now I know. it was for the memes.
----@TyWhy: yeah okay this is funny
----@WATERGIRL~: HAHA oh I cAn't the slow eyebrow raise? dead haha
------@ladymelone: it's the deep sigh in the first one that got me lol
----@readi0s1l3nce: me in every math class if I could lmao
@incorrectsuperteach: TFW nobody's listening to your history lecture because everyone wants a selfie with the student who saved the world. She did it last Wednesday too guys. Big deal. Sit down and listen please. Please?
--@PINAPPLE: tag urself I'm the one trying to get a selfie
----@quebert: my friends told me I give off annoyed/disappointed teacher vibes so probably that lol
--@kikalemon: I love that we all realised we were following a mystery empty thread and decided to make it into a meme place.
----@yoohoo.teehee: yeah good job everyone!!/gen
@yesyoukhan: Hi all. The moment I clicked on this page I realised it's for jokes and not real but still thought I'd try my luck here. My (31M) younger sister (16F) is a superhero. My whole family and half the local area knows. She thinks she's being so secretive. How do I tell her?
--@quebert: woahhh an actual ask on r/my student is a superhero?
----@OpenUpNerds: rare indeed to see such a specimen in the wild
--@tigress67: this thread is for memes only, I don't think anyone will be able to help
--@kikalemon: That's kinda sad but also kinda funny. No harm in letting her keep pretending as long as she's safe <3
----@yesyoukhan: Because heroes are known for staying safe. I'm worried she's going to get in trouble.
------@kikalemon: So tell her you know and offer help.
--------@TyWhy: yes haha embody the r/ and become her teacher
--@larrylobster: Actually can't tell if this is genuine or someone trying to do another unfunny roleplay
--@ralphrespondds: You should try and get in contact with another super and ask them for guidance. There are so many now - you don't have to go straight to the Avengers. Ik he's been less cheerful lately but Spider-Man is still easy to flag down and probably knows most of the local vigilantes, he might be able to keep an eye on her if you're worried.
----@ledneeds: as a massive Spider-Man fan I agree with the above ^ every superhero needs a mentor and spidey knows what he's doing by now
------@yesyoukhan: Thanks both, I will try to contact a local superhero/vigilante. My sister is a big fan of anything super so she should be pleased by having a mentor - great advice.
--@ArthurR: You have no idea how relieved I am to see your post among the many jokes on this site. Thanks for giving me confidence to post my own questions.
@ArthurR: My student is a superhero. He knows I know. He comes to me with bits of evidence and things to hide or for medical advice. I am not qualified to help a superhero. I don't want to betray his trust by telling someone else about him. What should I do?
--@OpenUpNerds: OMGGG another real ask??
----@limona: ikr!
--@yesyoukhan: I'm going to give you the same advice someone gave me: encourage him to find and talk to Spider-Man. Saw your message on my thread from a couple months ago so you know I had a similar(ish) issue. I managed to flag down Spider-Man and ask him to look out for my sister and I'm so much less worried for her safety now. Her confidence has increased and I'm pretty sure Spider-Man has taken on a mentor role without me even asking. I wish you the best of luck.
----@ArthurR: Thank you.
------@kidder00: you shouldn't trust Spider-Man he killed a guy
--------@breadsticks&run: dude? they disproved that ages ago get with the century
----------@kikalemon: take it to r/is spidey a hero?, guys. don't clog up the post
@theotheories: so I know there's this whole mystery around this chat but consider: it was started by a real teacher whose student was actually a superhero, and when the super found out they deleted all the posts to protect their identity. I'm a genius, I know.
--@OpenUpNerds: woahh that actually makes so much sense??
----@kikalemon: it doesn't tho?
--@guinyess: okay 1) you can't just casually delete posts and 2) someone would have remembered
--@TyWhy: why does nobody remmeber it then?
--@tigress67: cool theory but some of us have been following this r/ since its creation and there has been literally nothing except memes until recently
----@larrylobster: way to burst his bubble
------@tigress67: sorry??
@spidermanwithahyphen44: I finally found it. The reason why for some reason I have become a single parent of 100 superpowered children. And it's because of a random r/ thread? Why does this even exist?? More importantly, who decided I would be a good mentor? (I'm looking at you, @ralphrespondds and @yesyoukhan)
--@larrylobster: omg the real spiderman?
----@spidermanwithahyphen44: it's spider-man
--@TyWhy: finally back to some normalcy around here
----@dakotaduck: idk a lot of people are saying it might be real?
--@bumblydumblY: lmao imagine if the actual SM found this thread
--@Lee(vemealone): it exists for the memes. your presence only fuels us.
--@limona: guys guys I'm now imagining all the young superheroes checking this thread incase their teachers are onto them
----@yoohoo.teehee: lmaoo
--@RACHELE3: spider-man!! can you answer why nobody remembers this thread existing
----@spidermanwithahyphen44: .....
------@quebert: wow so helpful aha
--@yurmomhaha: why would anyone want to pretend to be a mutant? this isn't funny.
----@kidder00: seconded
--@PINAPPLE: ohhh spidey calling ppl outtt frfr
--@yesyoukhan: Nobody can tell if you're the real deal or not but if you are I'm sorry. I didn't realise it was a problem? When we spoke you seemed like you didn't mind looking out for my sister, I didn't ask for anything more.
----@spidermanwithahyphen44: oh no worries I'm just joking that you set the precedent. I love looking out for her and it was my choice to help her. I just wasn't expecting it to start something and now I'm slightly out of my depth hahahaa
--@readi0s1l3nce: Yo everyone's joking but Spidey has been seen collabing with a lot more supers recently? Idk what I think I'm just saying there's a possibility yk?
----@dustphobic: idk about anyone else but I am hoping praying crying that this is real
--@breadsticks&run: okay no jokes somebody needs to draw spider-man and 100 vigilante children. I would die for a comic of their shenanigans
----@WATERGIRL~: gotchu babes check out my tumblr. updates weekly :P
------@breadsticks&run: marry me
@spidermanwithahyphen44: oh btw @theotheories was right. kinda.
--@theotheories: WHAT?
----@theotheories: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
------@theotheories: SPIDEY???????
--@PINAPPLE: lmaooo
--@limona: what do you mean? spidey come back ANSWER US
--@Lee(vemealone): omg omg he's deactivated the account I can't breathe ahahaha
----@breadsticks&run: .... @WATERGIRL~ my beloved??
------@WATERGIRL~: *deep sigh* I guess I can do another comic. just for you <3
--------@breadsticks&run: <3
--@bumblydumblY: hahaha the account is GONE
--@dustphobic: actually in hysterics sobbing screaming laughing what does he *mean*
----@readi0s1l3nce: 'kinda'. 'KINDA'????
------@dustphobic: going outside rn to yell at SM
--@dakotaduck: Spider-Man is a troll confirmed
--@guinyess: but?? his theory didn't even make sense? spidey what does this mean I'm actually going to cry please
----@quebert: he's literally gone we'll never know
--@ladymelone: yet another unanswerable mystery to add to the archive of r/my student is a superhero, I suppose
