During his "life span" Spider-Man has picked up may nicknames, Spidey, Wed-Slinger, Wall-Crawler and Web-Head. Spider-Man's real name is Peter Parker. Peter was raised by is Uncle Ben and Aunt May after his parents left. Spider-Man was the first teenager protagonist in a comic book instead of being a side kick. His writers made him an easy relateable hero by giving him the image of the lonely, out cast and dejected teenage boy who was going through high school struggling. His creators also gave him super strength, agility, spider-like sense to react to danger quickly, the ability to stick to mostly any surface and the ability of shooting webs out of his hands through a self made device called the "web-shooter".

Spider-Man had the longest lasting comic book title name: The Amazing Spider-Man. **SPOILER ALERT** Over the years, Parker has grown from the dull high school student, to popular yet distraught college student who marries his high school sweetheart.
