Six-year-old Mable has been fighting cancer for the past two years, but she’d rather be fighting crime with Spider-Man.

On Monday, if all goes according to plan, she’ll be asked to suit up and save Edmonton alongside her hero — and the public is invited to watch it all unfold.

Mable has no idea she’ll be meeting with the mayor, chasing a villain at West Edmonton Mall and rescuing a celebrity from the Edmonton Valley Zoo on Monday. But her parents, the Children’s Wish Foundation and a small army of people across the city have been carefully planning her magical day for months.

Much like five-year-old Miles Scott, whose adventures as “Batkid” captured the world’s attention in 2013, Mable will be ushered around the city all day and treated as a superhero by all.

At 7 a.m., she’ll slip on a costume, designed by her mom, and watch a newscast informing her of strange happenings in Edmonton.

Spider-Mable, who will accompanied by Spider-Man throughout the day, will meet with Mayor Don Iveson at City Hall and the police at downtown police headquarters. In the afternoon, she’ll search for a villain at World Waterpark in the West Edmonton Mall, attend “superhero training” at Galaxyland and rescue a “prominent Edmontonian” at the Edmonton Valley Zoo.
