Spider-Man has proven to be one of the most entertaining and enjoyable sub-threads of the whole Marvel franchise. This is quite a feat given that he’s been in a dozen films so far and portrayed by seven actors. Maybe it is because most of us start to read comic books in our pre to mid teens and what age is Peter Parker? He is the hero of the series when most other characters of his age are sidekicks to the real hero. So he’s a similar age to the readership with similar problems and issues.
However, as Spider-Man, Peter can overcome all of those difficulties. Or can he? Well, obviously not. If the character could right all of his wrongs at the end of each story then it would get quite dull. And what an ongoing saga is a reason for the readership to keep coming back. Seeing how someone like you overcomes their difficulties is what keeps bringing them back; a bully, school life, romantic problems are all too real. Then the poor sod has the Green Goblin to deal with as well!
