|"Spider-Man" ([[Title Theme Tune]] of the 1967 [[Spider-Man (1967 TV series)|cartoon]])}}
 
'''Spider-Man''' is a comic book character, created by [[Stan Lee]] and [[Steve Ditko]]. He first appeared ''"Amazing Fantasy''" #15 (August, 1962). The issue contained his origin story. Geeky [[Ordinary High School Student]] Peter Parker attends a scientific demonstration and is bitten by a spider made radioactive by the experimental device, passing on the proportionate strength, speed, agility, and senses of a spider. At first [[Personal Gain Hurts|he uses his power for self gain]]. After his Uncle Ben is shot by a mugger that Peter could have stopped, he learns that with great power must also [[Comes Great Responsibility|come great responsibility]], and becomes the amazing Spider-Man!
 
At its debut, this [[Marvel Comics]] tale was a landmark in comic book characterization. He actually [[Character Development|seemed like a real person]], with day-to-day worries. Peter Parker was unpopular in his high school (though not without his supporting cast of friends). He and his aunt were poor, due to the death of their breadwinner. To get by, he had to sell pictures of his super-hero self to a man who only used them as a way to [[Hero with Bad Publicity|smear and tear down Spider-Man's reputation]], in a nice inversion of the Clark Kent/[[Superman]] situation.

A followup story, ''One Moment In Time'' (or ''[[Fun with Acronyms|OMIT]]'', if you're so inclined), showed exactly what happened on what was supposed to be Peter and MJ's wedding day, as well as how things fell apart between them after ''[[One More Day]]''. It continues the tradition of OMD by drawing a lot of criticism and doesn't explain anything very well. It may have surpassed the Clone Saga by now for being so disliked.
