CHICAGO — Spider-Man has long been known as a hero that does whatever a spider can.

But the perennial do-gooder might be turning to a life of crime.

For the second time this week, a man in a Spider-Man mask knocked off a Northwest Side convenience store Thursday night.

The man entered a convenience store in the 3700 block of North Harlem Avenue in Dunning about 7:15 p.m., police said.

He put a bag on the counter and told the cashier to fill it with cash before fleeing, police said. No one was injured, police said.

Thursday's caper was about 10 blocks from a similar Spider-Man robbery on Tuesday.
