The "Spider-Man from Mumbai," known for his humorous superhero antics online, waded through floodwaters, prompting jokes about his lack of "work from home" options. His videos sparked comments like "Mission Impossible" and pleas for Mumbai's rescue.

Mumbai:  Amid heavy rain in Maharashtra, residents of Mumbai stood still to see a friendly neighbourhood ‘Spider-Man’ wading through knee-deep floodwaters armed with a toilet wiper instead of web-shooters. The scene tickled the funny bone of social media users. “Spider-Man: No work from home,” one user quipped, putting a hilarious twist on the superhero's duties. The joke plays off the titles of Spider-Man film No Way Home, while poking fun at how even a superhero doesn't get the luxury of remote work when the city's underwater. Another user said the triple engine BJP government had failed in Maharashtra, prompting Spiderman to come and rescue Mumbai. Relentless monsoon in the city has shattered records with 891 mm rainfall in August, crippling transport, causing evacuations, power outages, and 21 deaths statewide.
