My favorite superhero among them all is Spider-man. There are many qualities that Spider-man possesses that hold my interests and make him number one on my list of superheroes. The most important aspect of Spider-man that makes him the hero he is is the fact that he is still “human-like” despite his powers. By this I mean that he still possess many flaws and imperfections as a character. There are various instances of conflict brought upon Spider-man through his lifetime that make him more relate-able

For this assignment I have chosen Spiderman. In the last movie of the trilogy‚ Spiderman turns into the Dark-Spidey by a symbiote that enters into his body and changes him. When the symbiote attacks Peter Parker he at first feels more powerful. He turns black and acts without judgment.

The struggle between altruism and cynicism plus selfishness. "With great power comes great responsibilities.". These are the essences of Spiderman. Without them‚ it’s not really Spiderman anymore. The new Amazing Spiderman is just a typical boy who’s sort of selfish.

It’s fair‚ but there’s nothing heroic about that‚ at the heart level. Superheroes
