Spider-Man has been leaping from roof to roof since the 1960's when he first appeared in Marvel Comics. He was the first teenage super hero. Did you know that in early comic books Spider-Man didn't have the ablility to shoot webs out of his hands/wrists. As a brilliant teenage boy, the way he shot webs was from a machine he had built that was attached to his wrists. In the early 2000's comic books he develops new powers like the web shooters from his hands and stingers that extend from his forearms. He can also stick people to his back which allowed him to maneuver about with both arms. His super speed and strength also improved during that time.
Spider-Man has been the most successful super hero for Marvel. Empire Magazine named Spider-Man the 5th greatest comic-book character. There is nothing not to love about Spider-Man. He has amazing super powers that he uses to help other people at his own expense. He is easy to relate to with his everyday problems which also suffer from his alternate life of being a super hero. He uses his intelligence and his strength to solve the problems he encounters.
