Spider-Man is a superhero created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, who first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962. The character is the alter ego of Peter Parker, an orphan raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben in New York City who, after being bitten by a radioactive spider, gains superhuman abilities. What sets Spider-Man apart is his relatability; behind the mask is a young man dealing with everyday struggles of adolescence and adulthood, from financial woes to romantic troubles. This 'everyman' quality, combined with his unwavering sense of duty encapsulated by the phrase "with great power comes great responsibility," has made him one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes worldwide.
