Not all heroes wear capes... no, they really don't, as Paul Rudd proved in Ant-Man.
The Marvel superhero doesn't don one either at work while playing Scott Lang, or in real life - as people have labelled him a 'hero' for what he was doing to thank voters on election day.
Yesterday (November 5), he visited Temple University in the swing state of Pennsylvania to hand out water bottles to students who were waiting in line to vote at the campus' polling station for as long as two hours.

President-elect Donald Trump became victorious thanks to his campaign's performance in the key battlegrounds - having already won four of them in Georgia, North Carolina, Wisonsin, and of course, Pennsylvania.
Ahead of election day, Pennsylvania was THE state to win, as it is the swing state with the most electoral votes, standing at 19.
So, Rudd visited the campus to hand out drinks, and while he was there, he was caught by broadcaster Entertainment Tonight!, with their reporter explaining the actor had heard the line was long and that was why he decided to come down.
"I just wanted to give people water, they're waiting in line for a long time and I just think it's a wonderful thing that all these young people are voting," the 55-year-old said.
"It's impressive," he added as he acknowledged how long they'd been queueing.
Concluding: "We've been doing lots of stuff here today in Pennsylvania so we wanted to come out here today and tell and tell these students that they are doing really great things."
The video went viral on Twitter, with one person posting: "Paul Rudd has been giving out water bottles to those in line on Election Day at Temple University in Pennsylvania."
Commenting on the news coverage, one person said: "Paul Rudd is hero."
While another added: "Absolutely GOATed. We love Paul and Kamala!"
Fair play to Rudd for not using his status to influence others, like a lot of other celebrities have.
Taylor Swift is one that you can't blame for trying to influence her fans, as she only mentioned who she was going to vote for at the polls because Trump's campaign team unknowingly posted a fake AI-generated photo of her saying she was voting for the Republican.
The 34-year-old took to social media to explain that the photo of her supporting Trump was fake, and told them she will be casting her vote to the Democratic nominee Vice-President Kamala Harris before urging her fans to use their vote any way they would like.
The 78-year-old, now President-elect, responded to the news by taking to Truth Social and simply writing: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"
