Spider-Man Stops a Bus Meme Template

This template is a piece of fan art by artist Francis Tsai. It depicts Spider-Man using his incredible strength to stop a speeding bus from hitting a child who is obliviously crossing the street. While intended to show heroism, the meme community repurposed it to highlight the "unnecessary" or "over-the-top" ways people protect others from minor inconveniences, or how a protector's efforts cause more collateral damage than the original threat.

• Spider-Man: Bracing himself against the front of the bus, his hands denting the metal and his feet shattering the asphalt. He represents the "Protector."
• The Bus: Full of passengers who are being violently thrown forward and crushed against the windshield. This represents the "Collateral Damage" or the "Actual Victims" of the protection.
• The Child: Walking calmly in the foreground with headphones on, looking at a handheld device, completely unaware of the chaos behind him. He represents the "Oblivious Party."
