Spider-Man is a comic book character created in the 1960s by (writer-editor) Stan Lee and (writer-artist) Steve Ditko for Marvel Comics. Spider-Mans rst appearance was in Amazing Fantasy #15. The web-crawlers real identity is that of Peter Parker, originally a young, orphaned teenager who was raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May and received superhuman powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Peter struggles to learn that with great power comes great responsibility.. Spider-Man / Peter Parker was one of the rst standalone teenage heroes within comics. While there have been many iterations of Spider-Man and Peter, he was originally a shy, high school attending science geek. As the character developed, he eventually became a quick-witted, freelance-photographing, seless hero. His color palette includes blue, red, and black with occasional white highlights. The vibrancy of the colors depends on the decade they were drawn in.
