    Spider-Man is a fictional superhero created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-

    artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy
    #15 (August 1962) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. He appears in American comic
    books published by Marvel Comics, as well as in a number of movies, television
    shows, and video game adaptations set in the Marvel Universe. In the stories,
    Spider-Man is the alias of Peter Parker, an orphan raised by his Aunt May and Uncle
    Ben in New York City after his parents Richard and Mary Parker were killed in a
    plane crash. Lee and Ditko had the character deal with the struggles of adolescence
    and financial issues, and accompanied him with many supporting characters, such as
    J. Jonah Jameson, Harry Osborn, Max Modell, romantic interests Gwen Stacy and Mary
    Jane Watson, and foes such as Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin and Venom. His
    origin story has him acquiring spider-related abilities after a bite from a
    radioactive spider; these include clinging to surfaces, shooting spider-webs from
    wrist-mounted devices, and detecting danger with his "spider-sense".

    When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, teenagers in superhero comic
    books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick to the protagonist. The
    Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker, a high school student
    from Queens behind Spider-Man's secret identity and with whose "self-obsessions
    with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness" young readers could relate.[9] While
    Spider-Man had all the makings of a sidekick, unlike previous teen heroes such as
    Bucky and Robin, Spider-Man had no superhero mentor like Captain America and
    Batman; he thus had to learn for himself that "with great power there must also
    come great responsibility"—a line included in a text box in the final panel of the
    first Spider-Man story but later retroactively attributed to his guardian, the late
    Uncle Ben.
