Spider-Man
Spider-Man is a Marvel Comics superhero. Stan Lee (the creator of the Hulk, the Fantastic
Four, Thor and other characters) and Steve Ditko created this character in the early 60s.
He appeared for the first time in 1962 in Amazing Fantasy, a superhero comic book.
Spiderman can cling to surfaces, shoot spider-webs and react to danger quickly with his
“spider-sense.” He has powers and thanks to them he can fight against enemies like
Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Jackal and he can do good. But Spiderman alias Peter Park
is also a “normal” teenager, who lives with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May and experiences
difficulties with girls, friends, family and employers.
It is this simple humanity that has won him millions of fans. He is in fact one of the most
popular superheroes. He has appeared in a series of films and in live-action television
shows and newspaper comic strips.
