Spider-Man

Spider-Man, comic-book character who was the original everyman superhero. In Spider-Man’s first story, in Marvel Comics’ Amazing Fantasy, no. 15 (1962), American teenager Peter ParkerPeter Parker, a poor sickly orphan, is bitten by a radioactive spider. As a result of the bite, he gains superhuman strength, speed, and agility along with the ability to cling to walls. Writer Stan LeeStan Lee and illustrator Steve DitkoSteve Ditko created Spider-Man as a filler story for a canceled anthology series. At the time, a teenage lead hero was unheard of in comic books. However, young readers responded powerfully to Peter Parker, prompting an ongoing title and, ultimately, a media empire, including video games, several animated and one live-action television series, a live-action film franchise, and a Broadway musical.

However, Marvel publisher Martin GoodmanMartin Goodman was not initially receptive to the idea of a teen hero taking centre stage, nor did he want to accept Spider-Man’s neuroses, romantic deficiencies, and chronic concerns about money. Goodman also thought that the audience would be repelled by the character’s spider motif. Fortunately, Lee’s instincts prevailed. Spider-Man’s debut in Amazing Fantasy was an immediate and resounding success.

From the beginning, Spider-Man’s behaviour deviated significantly from the prevailing superheroic norms. Instead of selflessly dedicating his superhuman gifts to crime fighting or the general betterment of humankind, the newly empowered Spider-Man cashes in on his talents by becoming a television celebrity. After his first performance before the cameras, he refuses to stop a robber from stealing the television station’s studio box-office receipts. Spider-Man’s world abruptly collapses a few days later when a burglar murders his uncle, Ben ParkerBen Parker, leaving Peter’s Aunt May—now his only surviving guardian—a widow. The grief-stricken Spider-Man tracks down Uncle Ben’s killer, only to make the horrible discovery that the murderer is the very same robber he had allowed to escape from the television studio. Spider-Man’s origin story closes with a sombre narration that permanently sets the series’ moral tone:

Spider-Man’s debut soon led to an ongoing comic series that began with The Amazing Spider-Man (abbreviated ASM), vol. 1, no. 1, in March 1963. The eponymous character immediately became integral to the ever-burgeoning “Marvel universe” as well, interacting (and sometimes exchanging blows) with such mainstays as the Fantastic Four, that group’s Human Torch (another teen hero), Daredevil, and the Incredible Hulk. “Spidey” also quickly developed a colourful, soap-opera-worthy supporting cast, including the rabidly anti-vigilante Daily Bugle newspaper publisher J. Jonah Jameson, girlfriend Gwen Stacy (to be replaced later by Mary Jane WatsonMary Jane Watson, following Stacy’s untimely death), and a roster of costumed adversaries such as Doctor OctopusDoctor Octopus, the SandmanSandman, the Green GoblinGreen Goblin, and Kraven the Hunter.

As the 1970s continued, Spider-Man’s adventures expanded into a fourth ongoing comic series (a monthly intended for the mainstream Spidey audience) titled Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man (later shortened to The Spectacular Spider-Man), which debuted in December 1976 and ran for 263 issues. This title, along with ASM, would carry the Spider-Man franchise through the next two decades. One of the notable events of this era took place in ASM Annual no. 21 (1987), when Parker and Mary Jane WatsonMary Jane Watson were married.

Elsewhere in the Marvel Universe, the “Ultimate” comic line was launched in 2000 with the debut of Ultimate Spider-Man. Using existing Marvel characters but eschewing decades of continuity, the “Ultimate” series allowed writers and artists to reinterpret classic stories. In the “Ultimate” universe, Peter Parker was once again a high-school student navigating the perils of teenage life. Ultimate Spider-Man ran until 2009 and concluded with Peter’s apparent death. The mantle of Spider-Man was then claimed by Miles Morales, a Black and Hispanic teenager from BrooklynBrooklyn. Miles would go on to become one of Marvel’s breakout characters of the 21st century. After the events of the massive Secret Wars (2015) crossover, Miles’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” was brought into the mainstream Marvel Universe.

The momentum that Spidey gained in the comics pages was also reflected in HollywoodHollywood. After resolving a host of legal issues that had previously prevented its production, Sony brought Spider-Man to the big screen in May 2002. Critics adored the film, and it eventually earned more than $800 million worldwide. Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007) proved equally successful. Director Sam Raimi, who helmed the trilogy, bowed out after the third film.

The Spider-Man film series underwent a “reboot” for The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). Marvel, which had been purchased by the Walt Disney Company in 2009, developed its own successful franchise of superhero films under the banner of the “Marvel Cinematic Universe,” but existing licensing agreements precluded the use of Spider-Man. That impasse was resolved in February 2015 with a unique deal between Disney and Sony that allowed the character to appear in films produced by either studio. Spider-Man made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in the third act of Captain America: Civil War (2016) as the protégé of Iron ManIron Man alter ego Tony StarkTony Stark. Tom Holland’s scene-stealing turn as the webslinger breathed new life into a character who had been experiencing diminishing returns at the box office. In Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Holland led an impressive ensemble cast in a sly action comedy that traced the slow and often painful transformation of a Queens high-school student into a superhero. Holland returned to the screen as the teenaged webslinger in the blockbusters Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). The animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) marked the silver screen debut of Miles Morales, and the film was greeted with nearly universal acclaim. Slick visuals, a compelling story, and an engaging hip-hop soundtrack won over audiences and critics, and the film won the Academy Award for best animated feature.
