Man in Spider-Man Costume Faces 208 Charges for 'Pam the Bird' Graffiti

The man accused of vandalising Melbourne buildings and train carriages with 'Pam the Bird' graffiti is now facing dozens of fresh charges, a Victorian court has heard.

Jack Gibson-Burrell, 21, arrived at court on Thursday wearing a Spider-Man mask, then later exited wearing a full-body costume, flanked by his defence lawyer Micky Milardovic.

He crouched down and posed for cameras, before running down the street, appearing to attempt to scale CBD buildings.

Neither he or his lawyer made comments to waiting media.

Mr Gibson-Burrell was facing over 50 charges when he last appeared in court, but during a short mention the Melbourne Magistrates' Court heard he was now facing 208.

The charges include allegedly painting the famous bird on the Flinders Street Station clock tower, the 'Cheese Stick' column on CityLink and Channel Nine's Docklands headquarters.

Additionally, according to court documents, he has been charged with assault, behaving in a riotous manner at the Emporium shopping centre, trespass, damaging train carriages and abseiling a building more than 30 metres in height.

Mr Gibson-Burrell has also been charged with damaging a 'building of cultural significance with a vintage Uncle Tobys advertisement on it', with the alleged damage to the tune of $99,110.

It's alleged he also caused damage to the Clifton Hill Shot Tower, with the value of the damage estimated to exceed $300,000.

Mr Gibson-Burrell is expected to contest the charges.

He was granted bail in February after agreeing to adhere to a curfew and live with his elderly grandmother.

Police previously told the court train carriages were the main target of the alleged vandalism. In court earlier this year, police described Mr Gibson-Burrell as a 'notorious vandal' who put the public at risk by breaking into buildings and abseiling to spray graffiti.

Mr Gibson-Burrell is set to face a two-day committal hearing in February 2026, with his defence granted permission to cross-examine witnesses.
