[RagingxLunaticx3]

I cried during this whole video. It's amazing what people are willing to do for each children.

[DarkChoclatewithtop]

[salvadory]

he died today- so sad! you will not be forgotten eric

[billuvill]

Is he blind or just not able to see thru goggles very well?

[billuvill]

I could never do that, could never talk to a child who is a) dying b) mentally retarded to sad for me. Those people have a special heart!

[ShannonRyan2222]

@billuvill he wasn't mentally retarded. wasn't blind either.

[imgrabbinpills]

@billuvill He's not mentally retarded. He has a ton of health issues, and specifically, tumors in the area of his head.

[WickedSmileyify]

He died today...RIP

[cruzyla]

This is an amazing display of human spirit. He got to live and die a dream fulfilled.... Truly touching!

[Zyastra]

RIP Erik AKA Electron Boy. Our thoughts are with your family.

[goldy2012]

safe journey Electron Boy....

[MetalTimesInfinity]

9 people's computer screens must be upside-down.

[IanTweekDP]

I know this is overused but...9 people are complete bastards.

[itsalightbulb]

I would soooo give up a weekend to do this

[neonoir77]

Electron Boy and Phoenix Jones should team up and keep Seattle clean.

also, this made me cry. so great :). This story gives me faith in the goodness of humanity.

[shaneofastrotek]

A comic was made for this boy called Electron Boy and it will be limited edition and only to New Orleans Comic Con. Hopefully with my vip ticket I will be able to get in fast enough to get a copy. This is one amazing story and its also cool because that other super hero guy is in seattle. Have not kept up with this story but ran across the comic and came check this out. it would be cool if he and the other super hero could do something together. that would epic and I would totally support it

[thadnokes]

Seattle-we love our sounders our seahawks our Mariners our Sonics (forever rest in peace and come back soon) but most of all our fellow Seattleites. Screw the east coast no city can come close we have all the real super heros!

[mikenkevin34]

9 people can go fuck themselves

[TokuNerd]

@mikenkevin34 more like 329 people can take a bullet to the head

[joeycules]

That's the coolest thing, EVER.

[mikesholler27]

it burns it actully makes me belive in humans again it's like im filled with hope for stuf. i think this just made me HAPPY

[1S9A9B5]

i love how excited lightning lad is

[the11091987]

Electron retard

[thebigjay426]

@the11091987 You are so cool. HAHA that 13yr old kid has cancer, lets make fun of him.

[Pouncekitty]

@thebigjay426 Why would you want to make fun of any child who has a life threatening illness? I think as ill as he his it is awesome when asked what he wanted most was not selfish as in meet someone famous or go to Disneyland, all he wanted was to be a superhero for a day, ... we should all be morelike him in spirit!

[thebigjay426]

@Pouncekitty I was being sarcastic. That guy was a dick, i thought it was a great thing that these people did for him. i feel bad that my comment came off as making fun of a kid with cancer, that is NOT what a ment.

[Pouncekitty]

@thebigjay426 How very unfortunate you lack compassion for this boy, .... too bad there isn't a superhero to come to your aid who could grant you some intelligence *sigh*

[Pouncekitty]

@the11091987 Why would you want to make fun of any child who has a life threatening illness? I think as ill as he is it is awesome when asked what he wanted most was not selfish as in to meet someone famous or go to Disneyland, all he wanted was to be a superhero for a day, ... we should all be more like him in spirit!

[the11091987]

@Pouncekitty because im from poland and on our land its nromal

[CabeBiken10]

@the11091987 Could you please tell me what normal is? Educate me :)

[IAmMisterAlex]

Okay, I want an Electron Boy sticker, too.

[deadguy718]

damn...

lightning lad really let him self go D:

[SomethingAwesome19XX]

This is quite pitiful actually..

[123idontcareok]

@SomethingAwesome19XX you're scum

[SomethingAwesome19XX]

@123idontcareok Look i'm just calling them like i see them.. He doesnt look like he's having fun, probably because he knows how fake it all is.

[BLUEthepitbull]

Go Sounders!

[jnwpse]

If your going to milk a cow to help keep a kid in high spirits during his battle with cancer, I stand behind you. This is a little extreme with the fake superhero thing, I just hope it really makes him feel good though, he deserves it. They should have microsoft make him an Avatar where he can play with himself as a superhero on the Xbox 360. It can be done, this whole scene is a bit too unrealistic. It dont look like hes really falling for it or enjoying it too much if you ask me. Very nice tho

[mrsberrycool]

He's like "wtf..." the whole time XD

nah this was so cute <3 GO ELECTRON BOY!!

[zombiejournals]

Wow this is awesome. I read the article on the Seattle Times. I was hoping the video was gonna include Electron boy rescuing the hostages at the space needle.

[wreddings]

D'awwww, this is amazing.

[denverbroncos35]

How can you not appreciate this? I almost cried. I now volunteer for Make A Wish. My sister died of an endoplastic ependymoma(look it up) and MAW took us to Disney World like the majority of kids but it's the neatest thing and what it does is fullfil the kids wish, take some stress of his parents and siblings, and give humanity hope that we still have compassion. One more thing MAW isn't just for dying kids but kids with LIFE THREATING ILLNESS not just terminally ill that's all.

[PMolk]

Electron Boy rules!!!! :D

[gag75]

God I cried. What a great day.

[NWSanta]

Loves the Make a wish foundation! Thank you for making this little boys dreams come true!!!!

[lordofsmiley]

Damn electroboy, You're awesome

[TheJamesrocket]

Bet electron boy was overwhelmed from all the action and attention he was getting. Make a wish foundation is truly great.

[TyonKree]

oh god US football players

ELECTRON BOY HELP THEM TO PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL

[Heartwood256]

For some wierd reason, I really want to buy an Xbox360 now...

[radiofanful]

Those efforts to make his dream realized are wonderful, awesome, no word to describe how wonderful it is!

[mermanpoop]

that kid was awesome and that was sooo cool but that lightning lad guy was gay

[orwellreturning]

@mermanpoop : well, given the heap of hatred that is aimed at gay people, I think it's commendable that Lighning Lad has transformed that into showing compassion, caring and helping others.

[mermanpoop]

@orwellreturning Oh dont get me wrong i dont have nothing against gay people and i think wat he did was great, i just meant that lightning lads acting was lame. It looked like electron boy thought lightning lad was a loser

[twoedge123]

This is just amazing. Great work making him so happy :)

[solidturd666]

this is wonderful.

[joeldarkmaster]

Seattle got a new superhero!

Electron boy!!!!!!!

Bad guys Beware!

[MageAtYou]

haha this is funny shit

[maxmator83]

national degradation

[dellboy15]

Six thumbs down? Who the hell wouldn't like this!?

[PanzerAngriff]

So Keller wasn't the only one shitting his pants during that practice session! Bet he sure was glad. Also, 0-4.

[catcooley]

Shame on Anonymous 5125. I know that doesn't mean anything to you since you are so full of hatred that you probably have never felt shame. I feel sorry for you. How awful to go through life with such anger and hate in your heart.

[electronboyssister]

And electron boy has a fan page on facebook created by a lady in baltimore! "fans of electron boy"

[WARLOCK70]

You would think that this would have much more hits than it has. I'll see if I can arrange that. ..Touching!!! you guys are all so AWESOME WOW!!!

[steadydets]

This is 100% pure awesome.

Big thanks to the make a wish foundation for touching peoples lives so deeply.

ELECTRO BOY IS AMAZING

[SuperDANSAVAGE]

wow.. it was done so well ill admit it.. im tearing up

[chaddavidgill]

The kid has liver cancer.

His dream was to be a superhero.

He got to be one for one day through the help of some pretty amazing people.

Anyone who says anything negative about this has no soul.

[JiminyKracker]

@chaddavidgill yeah I troll like nobody's business and not even I'd touch this...

[InfernoPyro01]

@chaddavidgill its sad he just passed away the other night

[bonecholampworks]

By responding to "amethystducky" you're:

A: Taking attention away from the issue here

B: Giving "ducky" the attention it so seems to require...

(methinks someone needs some help...maybe it forgot its meds...perhaps some sympathy may be in order, yet, somehow, strangely enough, I can't seem to come up with any...)

This is a beautiful story, giving of the heart is never wrong.

Go Electron Boy!!!

[jacoblo33]

Great video och amazing to see people do this. Equally sickening to see some of these comments here by people...

[dragonman814]

Leave it to the true retards behind their computer screens to poke fun of someone with higher intellect than them. On a lighter note, I'm appreciative that this was uploaded. It made my day run a little smoother knowing there's still decent people in the world.

[Silverjda]

energize looks like scissor-ing

[ch3xmix]

electron boy too retarded to appreciate this moment of his life

[Gingerblaze]

@ch3xmix ... maybe if you had terminal cancer, you might have some difficulty also...so whats your excuse right now for being such an ass?

[initialvie]

let him join the avengers

[jwka2001]

When this baby hits 88mph,,,, your gonna see some serious shit!

[opiumthoughts]

Lol good for him

[k3n12ock]

Who the hell is Electron Boy? Never heard of him.

[raidwing]

I love the internet. Even the most optimistic, uplifting video will always have a pessimist or, as they like to call themselves, a 'realist' trying to drag the rest of the world down with their dreary, inflammatory cynicism.

[peperonyandchease]

lol he looks like he has downs

[andrefantastisk]

Amazing guys!

[afarnesang]

Brings a tear of happiness to my eye. Electron Boy forever!

[PaulLeary]

absolutely wonderful!

[readybeeill]

totally fcuking epic

[readybeeill]

fucking epic.

[ehcmier]

@livinglegend1187 Hello troll!

[donostia13]

Really great production from the MAW Foundation.

To the person who commented that Electron Boy is not too responsive: I think it's because he's sick, as in weak, dying and on medications. This day alone probably took a lot out of him, but he kicked ass nonetheless.

[AliasUndercover]

Why is there so much dust in the air? My eyes are watering.

[billionbucks]

This put a tear in my eye. This is an awesome kid!

[AleesaAdams]

AWESOME! I wish everyone in the world were this kind to others. I just signed up to volunteer with this group after reading the article about this:

[imjoelirule]

Cruisin down the street in my delorean

[electronboyssister]

Yes i am proud to be his big sister he is an amazing little guy. I do tell him he is my hero everyday because he is so amazing. He has been sick most his life but has always woke up with a smile on his face. He is so good to others. I have little ones of my own now and he dotes on them and they look up to him big time. Hooray for Electron Boy!!!!

[amethystducky]

Not to be mean but I wouldn't have bothered. Its like throwing a party for a pet rock...

[GasPain]

@amethystducky I do not think someone who is a complete waste of perfectly good oxygen can be considered mean. You are, after all, really to stupid to fully understand the proper use of the English language or enev comprehend the basic use of grammar and punctuation. You really should crawl back under your rock and never come back out.

[amethystducky]

@GasPain

Looks like ENEV you can't use grammer correctly. Perhaps you are to ( too) stupid.

[enegence]

@amethystducky

You spelled grammar incorrectly. If you're going to attempt to be pedantic, at least try to be correct.

[amethystducky]

@enegence You spelled 'even' incorrectly.

[rm3cpp]

@amethystducky How is it like throwing a party for a pet rock? I am confused by your statement.

[amethystducky]

@rm3cpp you make love rocky the rock but he has no feelings and has no consious. Throwing a party is a waste of time, it only makes you feel good.

[rm3cpp]

@amethystducky Not to state the obvious, but children with diseases do have feelings and they do have a conscience (and they are conscious). And when you're faced with the nightmare of disease and mortality, you have two options: fight as hard as you can with science and compassion, or at least make the person feel better (and if you're humane, you do both)

[amethystducky]

@rm3cpp

Yeah but its the same as a druggie being conscious; they're not 'there'.

[billionbucks]

@amethystducky Do you know what Make A Wish Foundation is for? Dying children. Grow up.

[amethystducky]

@billionbucks No. Its for people who want to make themselves look like wonderful generous people. Half these kids don't know whats going on. If I was in this state I'd just like to be put out of my misery.

[welicantregret]

@amethystducky I wasn't aware that cancer made people not "know what's going on". How dare you. Just because you want to be an inflammatory boar doesn't mean you have to criticize the rare wonderful and positive things we have in this world. You should take a look a real good look at yourself in the mirror and think about what you flippantly post on YouTube.

[amethystducky]

@welicantregret Did you watch the video? did you see the kid? People had to tell him what to do to actually make him do things. He was so sick that he was a semi-veggie. He just didn't know what was happening. I look at myself in the mirror and think " goddamn I'm good"

And what is it with people offending boars on this video?

[danistheman138]

@amethystducky You are a fucking asshole. I hope you get eviscerated by a wild boar

[amethystducky]

@danistheman138 Too bad boars are very rare in this country and rather small in comparison to others. Maybe you watched too much Chaw.

[danistheman138]

@amethystducky Too bad you're a faggot

[amethystducky]

@danistheman138 To bad you can't think of something a little more substantial and intelligent to name call me :)

[CamButler]

This kid seems kind of lost

[ahhjortshoj]

@CamButler He's dying. Cut him some slack.

[TheRealLinkShady]

This is awsome and electron boy is teh greatest superhero ever

[8ViCkY8]

this is absolutely amazing. to see people do this... it's good to see kindness in this world still, especially when it's directed to those who deserve it the most like erik,

[SmackoRulesOverNate]

THIS KID IS GONNA BE DEAD SOON

[gameboy772]

By the power of Xbox 360... He *CAN* open that door!

[Erich745]

God is curing his mongolism with liver cancer.

[bcruze]

Lightning Lad is creepy as hell...

[jpe30]

Wow, Gary Coleman got his acting career back! AMAZING

[forenob]

FAKE

[cinnaminh]

I'm so glad I found a video of this. What a great and heart-touching story. It puts everything into perspective and shows what an entire city can do when everyone works together on a united goal.

[TheMrNamefag]

Brb, sketching up a comic of this guy.

[funkypunk1001]

@ twotest73 youre worse than those people who protest in front of soldiers' funerals

[crihsagnlel]

[B4TT3RY]

[haypenny]

Sweetie pie angel baby.

Every time I see pink merchandise for breast cancer, a cancer with a high rate of survival, I get really annoyed that women aren't campaigning harder for children. Breast cancer awareness has become an oppressive pop culture fad. But this little sweetheart has a much more aggressive cancer. I can't even fathom his bravery. Long live Electron Boy.

[salbal777]

This is amazing.

[ehav]

To Twotest73.  Nothing funny about someone not having a chance live a full healthy life.

[electronboyssister]

actually the media reported that he has liver or kidney cancer...he actually has Pheochromocytoma its a rare tumor of the adrenal gland that causes too much release of epinephrine and norepinephrine -- hormones that regulate heart rate and blood pressure

[electronboyssister]

this was a fantastic day for erik. A kind lady in Balitimore created a facebook fan page for him. Check it out and become a fan! Fans of Electron Boy!!!!

[slobmarley]

@electronboyssister

If you really are his sister, make sure to tell him that he's a hero everyday, because he is!

[Krieger91]

That is quite a nice thing to do.

[oasis512512]

ENERGIZE

[M6nooooo51]

lol whats wrong with this kid?

[RiotsRgood]

@M6nooooo51 Liver Cancer

[nilicule]

@M6nooooo51 he's got terminal cancer

[SUICIDESxRELIEF]

alot of subliminal MSGING

[bellla08]

Why does something as uplifting and endearing as this story make national news?

[bellla08]

@bellla08 I ment "not make national news". I totes love this story. I just typed that wrong! Yikes!

[65spiders]

they are doing a greeeat job tho

[liberator279]

i threw up.....what?...DONT JUDGE ME!

[TheJenmovies]

You can tell how sick he is. Poor thing. I really hope a miracle happens and he gets better! Fantastic story.

[xXiN5aNeXx]

so sad,,, :(

[Greekmustard666]

ahahahahahahahaha, oh boy, wonderful video though

[Magnaman]

his eye mask was his nemesis.

[8milecomedians]

Very touching

[gk3og]

they're so nice

[Freedom7557]

The world is truly a better place because of Electron boy . Just look how much love was spread in this video

[QuincyPostman]

I hope the Sounders don't let Electron boy down on Saturday

[TheForthcoming1]

Awesome video! I saw a commercial for this once in

the US.

God bless.

[silversundash]

lol when the Sounders shake his hand he's like "That was nothing, dudes"

[AFootballReport]

This is awesome. But moonshine maiden? Um, that's a pretty strange name for a superhero. Love the rest of this bit though.
