A 10-year-old British boy with a rare blood disorder has been reunited with his own personal superhero – the man whose bone marrow helped save his life.
Rupert Cross, who was diagnosed with the disorder four years ago, was undergoing a round of chemotherapy when he found a match, the BBC reports.
However, in a heart-warming twist, it turned out that Billy Higgins, who helped save the boy's life, had joined the bone marrow register after spotting a woman he liked in the queue.
She has since become his wife.
Rupert said of his meeting with Mr Higgins, "I feel very lucky and I can’t believe that someone would do this for me".
"He's a superman."

"I'll take that one," Mr Higgins laughed.
Rupert has since made a full recovery.
