Every superhero has an origin story … but not every origin story is super.
#NachoMan, for example, is the latest superhero to enter our world, but he wasn’t bitten by a radioactive spider or jettisoned off his home planet as it was being destroyed, and his parents don’t like the opera.
No, #NachoMan is just a simple guy who loves baseball, the Cardinals, and a cup filled with cheese drizzled over some crunchy tortilla chips.
He also happened to be in the wrong (right?) place at the wrong (right?) time with a fresh order of nachos from Busch Stadium, as the Cubs took on the Cardinals last night. Take a look as Cubs shortstop Addison Russell goes barreling into the stands to retrieve a foul ball and comes out with only nachos and a great story:

I love how Russell goes back with nachos from the field, and hands them to #NachoMan before shaking his hand and taking a selfie with him/his girlfriend. That’s just too funny.
Let’s just hope he washed his hand before shaking it …
Nacho division anymore, Cardinals. pic.twitter.com/81t1MELhad

#NachoMan was even interviewed later:
And was asked to sign some fan’s chest … in cheese:

And lastly, if you can believe it, he even grabbed another foul ball later in the game, before tossing it to some kids:

I guess some heroes really don’t wear capes.
