Peter grew up with a loving family and spent most of his time with them when they weren't on business trips. Until one day Peter's parents left him with his aunt May and uncle Ben and hurried away. 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.

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.

Peter Parker was 16 when he was bit by a radio active spider and it's no doubt that he didn't know he would be single-handled responsible for saving New York, all while dealing with high school and his crush Mary Jane. In the beginning, Peter relished in the attention his alter ego was getting. New York and possibly even the rest of the country loved him for being a hero. They made toys, posters, shirts, and even music relishing in his greatness. But when the pressure of being the almighty savior of New York got the best of him, Spider-man thought it was best to hang his uniform and go on about his mild life as Peter Parker, student, nerd, and resident intern for the Daily Bugle. But that wasn't what was best, at least not for the citizens.

In the movie, “The Amazing Spider-Man,” the director uses the archetypes, The Battle of Good vs Evil, The Hero, The Tyrant, The Warrior, Sidekicks, and The Forest. We as humans, will not find our confidence in ourselves for a long time because bravery is a hard thing to accomplish and is a difficult task to do by yourself.

Spider-Man was shown to be a nerdy high schooler who doesn’t make many friends. He gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains powers that nobody would have ever imagined.

“It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a paper about the makers of them comic books! “

The representation of diverse people and experiences in comics is important to expand the thoughts and minds of readers. Yang and Wilson, the minds behind American Born Chinese and Ms. Marvel, use the medium of comic books and graphic novels to help bring a new sense of belonging and acceptance to marginalized people. They do this by applying a “millennial mindset” to their respective stories. What this means is that the characters they have created, whether they are based off real people or are fiction, address the problems of race, religion, or sexuality that we are facing today. These characters also act to threaten the current atmosphere of the comic book industry. Typical comic book characters and superheroes, before now, were mostly white and from a typical American background. Heroes that were women were generally over-sexualized and unrealistic. These two authors hope to challenge the current status quo of the comic book industry by creating characters whose background is much different than previous superheroes.

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. It is the choice we make with that power whether it is given to us or taken.

A large part of any story, especially one with the quest archetype, is love. Since the first time he sees Mary-Jane at the age of six, Peter Parker (Spider-Man) has loved her. At this time, Peter even asked his aunt: “Aunt May, Aunt May, is that an angel?” This truly displays how much Spider-Man adores Mary-Jane. In fact, Peter will do anything to help her. For example, near the beginning of the film, Peter saves Mary-Jane from slipping in the cafeteria. Because of his powerful love of Mary-Jane, Peter also faces consequences, though. His enemies, such as the Goblin Goblin, can manipulate him using Mary-Jane as a bribe, or ransom.

Once upon a time there was a boy named Strong Lad Steven. Strong Lad lived in the mountains with his family and other villagers. His family was made up of a father, a mother, and a little, impotent brother named Strong Shad. Although his little brother's name was "Strong" Shad, it was hard for him to live up to the name because he was so feeble. The house they lived in was on top of the biggest mountain in the village, therefore, the two young boys had plenty of room to roam and play while being out of danger's way. The boys would do this while the parents would amble around the meadows. Strong Lad and Strong Shad loved comic books. Some of their favorite things to do were making their own comics or dressing up as super heroes. Spider man was

Both Beowulf and Spiderman are commonly known as heroes that go through the literary hero's journey. Anglo-Saxon epic heroes are willing to put their own lives in danger for the greater good providing people with a sense of security. Beowulf, a brave, courageous, and noble conqueror, has his journey begin with his “call to adventure” as the kingdom of King Hrothgar needs Beowulf 's help in Denmark because the monster, Grendel, is killing everyone. Normally there is a refusal to call. However, Beowulf is so confident in himself that he is willing to immediately begin gathering his men to leave for Denmark. On the other hand, Spiderman starts as a nerdy, high school kid, Peter Parker. He is an orphan with an unhappy life. Peter's “call to adventure” is when he is bitten by a radioactive spider while attending a school field trip to an experimental lab. Peter later goes home feeling under the weather when he notices he has the abilities and proportionate strength of a spider. Peter does not understand what the “call” is at this stage nor how he can help people. Instead of

D. Thesis: To understand the impact Marvel has on our culture today, we must delve deeply into its rich history.

The constant battle between our favorites has shown itself common now more than ever. Who do we like better? What do we like better? What is the absolute best? Are these questions necessary? No. But do they keep our lives interesting? Oh yes. In the spring of every year, there always seems to be a new superhero movie that debuts and leaves us on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next one. This year, we are being blessed with two movies, from two separate corporations, Marvel and DC; which leaves us with the question… Who did it better?

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.
