‘The Spider-Man’ (the movie) is also a journey filled with adventure, thrill, excitement, making possible the impossible, conquering hearts and, performing feats which are best left to Dream Land, the world of fantasy.

Adam Hogue, in his article “Why Do Americans Love Superheroes So Much?,” discusses the reasons behind the popularity of the superheroes. Hogue’s purpose is to instill the idea that superheroes are popular due to their static personalities. First, he illustrates his opinion with his anecdote about Captain America: “Sure, there were some slightly different nuances here and there, but for the most part, he was the same man…The superhero is someone we deeply trust” (para 9). Here the author describes how his personal attachment to Captain America was due to his unchanging personality and how the Captain “wasn’t going to be dead forever” (para 9). Not only this, Hogue demonstrates his ideas by using Spiderman as an example: “With

The author of “The Birth of Spider-Man”, Max Bruno, and the author of “Stan Lee and Spider-Man”, Simmi Patel, both present their information about Spider Man differently and similarly through their purposes, points of views, and facts chosen.

The introduction of Marvel 's first superhero team, The Fantastic Four, established the company 's reputation. The majority of Marvel Comics superhero stories were written by Stan Lee. Lee and Steve Ditko generated the most successful new series in The Amazing Spider-Man. Marvel 's comics had a reputation for focusing on characterization to a greater extent than most superhero comics before them. Take for example, Iron Man.

Marvel Enterprises, Inc is an industry leader of character-based entertainment, building its foundation on publishing comic books and licensing character rights over the past seventy years. After encountering some hardships in the late nineties, Marvel repositioned itself as a powerful global firm under the leadership of new CEO, Peter Cuneo. He developed a strategic recovery plan, allowing Marvel to overcome bankruptcy through the monetization of its extensive content library, long term development of characters, and the assurance of high-quality for all Marvel-related products. However, by 2004 concerns arouse regarding the sustainability and continued

There’s an age old battle amongst us “nerds” over who is better in the comic book world, DC Comics or Marvel Comics? Everyone has their own opinions on who has the better stories and characters, and which comes out with the better movies and shows, but when you break it down each one has different qualities that make it better. Marvel and DC are the most well-known comic creators in the world. These companies kick-started the superhero/supervillain franchise. Marvel comics was founded in October 1939 Timely Comics, by Martin Goodman. The first comic published by Marvel included the first appearance of the Human Torch and Namor the Sub-Mariner (“Marvel Comics”). DC was founded six years earlier in May 1934, as National Allied

First and foremost, the hero Spider-Man starts with the creative ideas that Stan Lee developed in 1962. Chaston asserts that “Stan Lee is the best-known costumed superhero of the Marvel Comics universe and the star of several comic books and television series.” Lee is a figurehead for every superhero enthusiast in the world. A true icon whose visionary masterpieces have developed into true inspirational role models for millions of people in the world. In a Time.com website, “How Spider-Man Was Born,” the author, Nolan Feeney, states that one day, Lee’s publisher tells him that he must come up with a new superhero idea. That day, Lee goes home and starts thinking about what a new hero will be

As humans, we are always fascinated with the extraordinary and the fantastical. Whether its fantasies, science-fiction tales, or comic books, people have always been drawn to the adventures of men and women with amazing powers and colorful costumes fighting evil and saving the world. Stan Lee is often considered to be the father of the modern superhero, and it’s not hard to see why. Even if you’ve never heard of Stan Lee, you’ve definitely heard of the myriad of cultural icons he’s created throughout the years. Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, Thor, the X-Men, as well as so many others are all the creations of Stan Lee. Lee created so many realistic characters that combined typical human emotions and traits with their super powers. Lee’s personal writing style, attention to detail, and his revolutionary ideas changed the idea of the superhero forever; he created ideals and themes that have been adapted by others as well as standing the test of time to be relevant even to this day.

In less than a year, that has lasted on shelves, after releasing the new series of Ms. Marvel in 2014 it turned out to be a successful hit. Kamala Khan may be a Muslim but she 's still just like any other ordinary teenage girl who lives in Jersey and faces the same problems: lives with strict parents, has that one friend who has a secret crush but is never noticed, a small group of friends, and the desire to be able to fit in with the “popular” kids at school. This story isn’t just about how any other every day person became to become zero to hero. The true success behind Ms. Marvel is because it 's something different Marvel Comics brings to the readers they don 't usually see comparing to previous superheros. They didn’t only bring an urban legend back ..

Having built an empire on which the marketing sun never sets, Marvel should now be facing audience fatigue—how many stories of superheroes can this world bear?

According to Joel D. Chaston, an English professor at Missouri State University, Spider-Man is one of the Marvel Comics most popular superhero, which was created by writer-editor Stan Lee. Chaston claims that “Stan Lee is the best-known costumed superhero of the Marvel Comics universe and the star of several comic books and television series.” Andy Hunsaker, a comics editor who has work with “Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, Xfinity Television and UGO, among others, covering movies and television” says that Spider-Man was first appeared in the Amazing Fantasy number 15 back in 1962. The character has gained popularity among American society, and has remained popular until today. The history of Spider-Man first started off with an idea of a writer named Stan Lee; then there is a present day version of the hero; Peter Parker, and how he fights with his dark side, Venom.

Lee was in the lowest point of his comic book career and was about to change careers. He decided to give it one last go by writing two different superhero stories: The Fantastic Four and The Amazing Spider-Man. These two stories defied the superhero graphic at the time with the Fantastic Four being a family turned superhero team and Spider-Man being the first teen superhero that was not a sidekick. Spider-Man put a grand effect on people as it put a realistic high school student struggling with the loss of his parental figure. The origin of Spider-Man is shown in Amazing Fantasy #15. Peter Parker was a “hard working honor student” constantly rejected being seen as a nerd. One day, however, Peter is bitten by a radioactive spider that somehow grants Peter the “proportionate speed, strength and agility of a spider” (Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man). After finding these powers, Peter later exploits them for himself as a wrestler winning money nightly. One night, a thief is running from a cop with Peter in front of him. Instead of stopping the thief, Peter arrogantly lets the thief go and tells the cop, “Sorry, pal! That’s your job!... From now on I just look out for number one -- that means -- me!” (Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man). Peter would later find out that the same thief he had let escape would kill his Uncle Ben. After he hands the thief to the police as Spider-Man, he tells himself, “If only I had stopped when I could have! But I didn’t -- and now -- Uncle Ben -- is dead” (Marvel Masterworks: The Amazing Spider-Man). In the story, Parker is an intelligent, socially awkward, and often bullied young teenager who has parental figures in his life. This allowed him to be more relatable and more interesting to readers who were accustomed with characters like Superman who is an alien on Earth, Wonder Woman who is a goddess, and Batman who is a

C. Credibility: As a fan of comic books and movies, I have always been interested in the dynamics and history of the Marvel and DC companies.

When asked what makes the character of Spider-Man so popular, most people would probably say that it is due to his relatability. Peter Parker is just a kid, like all of us are or were, and that instantly makes him accessible to a wide audience. However, I never thought about that when I was a child. I grew up on the Sam Raimi films, which I still hold near and dear to my heart. I suppose I wasn’t smart enough at the time to realize the massive appeal of the Spider-Man character. For me, Spider-Man was just cool because of his colorful costume and his amazing powers. I was just a kid who loved awesome superheroes, and Spidey checked that box. Having graduated high school and preparing for college, I am now more aware of subtleties and nuances in film, while still retaining that childlike excitement for massive blockbusters. I have been anticipating the latest Spidey film for a very long time, and upon viewing the film twice, I’ve realized a glorious truth. For the first time in my life, at the age of 18, I finally related to the character on a deeper level than I ever thought possible, and that is what makes this film shine.
