Who is the guy in the Superman suit? Photobomb mystery solved

When CBC P.E.I. reported on a man who walked across a slackline at Basin Head wharf, the story drew one question what is Superman doing in the background?

As it turns out, there's a simple answer.

The man in the superhero suit is Nathan Burke, a friend of Matthew DesRoches the man who walked the slackline.

"He's the one that kind of pushed me to do crazy ideas," said DesRoches. "He's notorious for being kind of a goofball."

Burke also attempted to slackline across the wharf.

He came close but didn't make it, so beach visitors would have also witnessed a very wet Superman climbing out of the water.

"He was quite soggy," said DesRoches.
