Since his introduction in 1962, Spider-Man has been a stalwart figure in Marvel's pantheon of superheroes, known for his relatable struggles and exhilarating web-slinging exploits. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Spider-Man aka Peter Parker has spun his web into every corner of pop culture, from comic books and films to video games and television shows. Peter Parker is an everyman – a bright but humble student grappling with typical teenage issues. But when he dons his Spider-Man suit, he transforms into a hero, protecting New York City from a variety of villains, from the Green Goblin to Doctor Octopus.
