Spiderman is the fictional superhero created by Marvel Comics in 1962. Peter Parker is a geeky teenager who has acquiesced to his pitiful life. Peter has a terrible crush on his neighbor, Mary Jane Watson, but is too unsure of his self to do anything about it, so his love goes unrequited. On a field trip to a lab, Peter inadvertently receives a bite by a radioactive spider. This event will come to change the course of Peter’s life forever. The bite causes a series of changes in Peter’s body. He becomes very muscular and physically well developed. He also has much improved vision. He can cling to things easily and scale up walls. He also has the ability to shoot web out from his wrists. Peter Parker has become Spiderman! With all his new superpowers, Peter Parker (aka Spiderman) can go out and battle the Green Goblin—and also impress Mary Jane Watson at last.
