Spider-Sense Spider-Man

Spider-Man (Peter Parker) is a Marvel Comics superhero character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Since his incarnation and first appearance in Amazing Fantasy number 15 (August 1962), he has become one of the world's most popular, enduring and recognizable superheroes. When Spider-Man first saw print in the 1960s, teenage characters in superhero comic books were usually sidekicks. The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring a hero who himself was an adolescent, to whose 'self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness' young readers could relate. Spider-Man has since appeared in various media including several animated and live-action television series, syndicated newspaper comic strips and a successful series of films.
