  "account": "A Queens resident named Jack Shi, 64, has become an unexpected celebrity due to a peculiar turn of events. Shi owns a four-bedroom, four-bathroom brick house at 20 Ingram St, Forest Hills, New York, a property that shares its address with one of Aunt May's homes from Marvel Comics. The connection to the beloved superhero Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, has led to an influx of letters addressed to the web-slinging hero, all sent to Shi's residence. Shi, who purchased the home three years ago without knowing its association with Spider-Man, now feels a sense of responsibility for the character and the superhero spirit. Fans, intrigued by the Spider-Man connection, have been flocking to see the movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which premiered on July 31, 2026, and has proven to be a box office hit. The surge in popularity has certainly heightened Shi's role as the proud owner of the iconic property.",
