Soon after Peter answers the door to man who tells him his parents have died in a terrible plane crash. Several years later Peter is still living with his Aunt and Uncle and going to highschool.

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.

As told within the movie, Peter Parker’s grandmother believes “there’s a hero in all of us; gives us strength, makes us noble, even though some items we have to give up the things we love the most”(Sami Raimi). Neither Spiderman nor his alter ego, Peter Parker, ever showed any signs of fear(Spiderman). His incredible bravery allowed for him to fight relentlessly.

This lead to a total DNA change that turned him into a huge psychotic lizard. Peter Parker who had been bit by a radio active spider was now on a search to rediscover who he really is and only at the age of sixteen. If Stan Lee's classic comic was meant to teach us anything it was meant to teach us that we have a choice. Peter Parker a low income orphan, who was bullied and weak used his powers to become a hero. Osborne decided other wise. Using not Spiderman, but Peter Parker as my last explain I would like to show you that what makes a monster is more than the struggle for power as I earlier stated.

Nearly all heroes are faced with a variety of inconceivable tasks which in turn help to overcome obstacles that the character may face. In Spider-Man, Peter Parker is forced to overcome these impediments so that he can help protect the people in his city. The task that first illustrates this quest is Spider-Man’s revenge on the man who killed his uncle and committed robbery. To catch this criminal, though, Spider-Man has to learn how to use his mind: thinking quickly and on-the-spot. Not only does it take courage for Spider-Man to defeat this criminal, it takes quick reflexes that only his “spidey senses” can offer him. In the end, Spider-Man tricks the man and is successful in turning him into the police. Another example of a

Spider-man was the guy to talk things out with people and turn everything into a joke, odysseus could’ve easily done that but he did not he was a jerk about

He’s very smart, but bullied. Peter is an Orphan, and lives with his Uncle and Aunt. He only has two real friends, Harry and Mary Jane. While on a field trip to a laboratory, Peter gets bitten by a genetically modified spider. This causes Peter genetics to be altered giving him “spider like” powers.

He has many powers like strength, speed and more. Spider-Man can “cling to most surfaces like a spider” (Spider-Man). Now to talk about his strength he is extremely strong, he can “lift and throw objects as heavy as a big rig semi-truck with ease” (Spider-Man). Like Wolverine Spider-Man has the ability to heal himself, but who needs this when his reflexes are a combination of spiders and humans being “about 40 times greater than those of an ordinary human” (Spider-Man). You can't forget about his Spider-Sense making him able to sense of danger.

The Flash, Barry Allen, was a forensic scientist who was working late in his lab, which was the same night that a particle accelerator went off and exploded. The combination of the particle accelerator explosion, chemicals in the lab, and the bolt of lightning that struck Barry Allen; He was able to travel at amazing speeds. This only describes the process of how he got his powers but his drive to use these powers for good was something that happened to him as a child. When Barry was nine years old he witnesses the

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 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.
