Spider-Man

Spider-Man, one of the most famous comic-book superheroes of all time, is also the first ‘everyday’ hero in the world’s comic history. In the original Spider-Man series - published in Marvel Comics' Amazing Fantasy, vol 15 (a 1962 issue) - an American adolescent named Peter Parker gets bitten by a venomous spider. As a consequence of this bite, he develops super powers, speed, and agility. He also possesses the power to cling to walls. Not many people know this, but in the past, Spider-Man was conceived by Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko as nothing more than a filler work - a half-hearted replacement for a rejected anthology series.

An adolescent main hero never appeared in previous comic books at the time. However, young readers embraced Peter Parker. Their love for him resulted in a long-running series. Eventually, the Spider-Man brand grew into a media empire that includes computer games, animations, live-actions franchises, Broadway musicals, and more.

Spider-Man’s character has always revered from the normally established superhero ideals. He does not selflessly commit his superhuman abilities to criminal fighting - or the greater good of humanity. Instead, this newly strengthened Spider-Man capitalizes on his abilities by becoming a TV personality. He even refuses to stop a burglar from taking the television station's studio box-office revenues, after his debut appearance in front of the cameras.
