Turns out this Times Square costumed creep is a real super-hero nerd.
The panhandling Spider-Man charged with clobbering a cop said Thursday he's been a fan of the web-slinger since he was a little boy as he proclaimed that the Crossroads of the World wouldn't be the same without characters like him.
"I watched 'Spider-Man' and 'Batman' as a kid. I was more into the cartoons of Spider-Man," said Junior Bishop as he read a story about himself in today's New York Post while waiting for an appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court.
"We make Times Square what is. Without us Times Square is not Times Square. People come to see the characters," said Bishop, 25, clad in jeans, a green sweatshirt and green sneakers instead of his knock-off Spidey suit.
At one point, he showed The Post article to a guy sitting next to him in court.
"Wow, you were the guy on the news!" the guy gushed.
Bishop, who was busted Saturday for tussling with a cop who had stopped him from hitting up tourists for cash, insisted he gets along fine with the gawkers he meets.
"It's fun for people to come out. People come to see us, the kids come to see us. They're smiling. They run and give me a hug, it's all positive."
But he said he does not plan on returning any time soon.
"I don't think so. I don't want to discuss it right now," Bishop said.
Bishop, aka Spider-Man, fights with an NYPD officer.
Instead, he said he dreams of taking his act to the big screen.
"If you can get me a role in the 'Spider-Man' movie, I'll talk," he quipped, adding that the world needs another black Spider-Man in addition to "Miles Morales, " a character created by writer Brian Michael Bendis who debuted as the first black Spidey in an August 2011 comic book.
"Talk to Brian Michael Bendis then we'll talk," he cracked. "There needs to be [another] black Spider-Man."
Though now a semi-celebrity himself, if not notorious, Bishop had no use for some of the celebs he was reading about in The Post. "They're all crazy. Jay-Z and Beyonce," he cracked.
And while cops still have his costume, he has a backup plan – designing clothes and recording a hip hop album.
"I'm in the process of making a mix tape and my clothing line being released," the chatty faux superhero claimed.
Bishop was bailed out of the Tombs jail downtown by his grandmother Tuesday night.
A pal said Bishop planned to file an official complaint against arresting Officer Eduardo Molina, claiming the cop punched him first.
Bishop, who's also solicited tips while dressed as Cookie Monster, was caught on video slugging Molina after the cop confronted him for demanding $10 a photo to pose with tourists.
