Cobán was no different from any other eight-year-old. Actually, that isn't true. He was smaller than most, never stopped talking, and was as smiley as you could imagine. Aside from that though, he could have been any eight-year-old anywhere. Everything changed for him after he was diagnosed with leukaemia. Now, don't think this is a sad story, far from it. This is the story of a world-famous superhero. Superheroes are chosen by the universe and Cobán, or Super Cheto, was right up there with Spiderman and Superman. Being eight, he wasn't exactly the most accomplished superhero in terms of leaping tall buildings or foiling international diamond smuggling gangs, but he was very good at taking credit for generally just being in the way. Like all superheroes, nobody knew Cobán was Super Cheto, but superhero he was.
