Spider-man is by far the most iconic American super hero. He is the perfect combination of American human and bravery. These qualities have resulted in one of the largest superhero fan followings of all time. Despite being left out of the Avengers movie, Spider-man has stayed one of the top rated superheroes. Spider-man can be found throughout almost every American's life. Even I spent a good majority of my life addicted to the adventures of the Amazing Spider-man. Despite a strange assortment of powers, almost any reader can find something in Spider man they can relate to. Peter Parker's personality is one of the easiest in comics to relate to. He has all the flaws most Americans have to endure, and yet he is still a hero.
From his start, Peter Parker has always been simply defined as the wise-cracking nerd from Queens New York. Unlike most of the superheroes of the DC comic universe, Peter Park grew up poor. In relation to the rest of his Marvel counter parts, he was the most accessible for the comic book reader. No reader could ever be Thor, or would ever have enough money to be Iron-man, but if you hung around radioactive spiders long enough, you could just be Spider-man. The iconic hero swung from the comic book pages into our hearts in the mid 1940s and has refused to leave.
Every year is full of people say that Spider-man comics will be dull, but every year he manages to entertain and amaze as he always. Spider-man is one of the most long living, and in my opinion, exiting, superheroes in the Marvel universe.
The comic book world would be nothing with out our red and blue hero.
