Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can! Spins a web any size, catches thieves, just like flies. Look out! Here comes Spider-Man! And he is back, this summer, with the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming in July. Tom Holland’s revamping of the Amazing Spider-Man has fans of the webhead coming back out in droves, happier than ever and excited for the first time since the original Spider-Man trilogy (sorry, Andrew Garfield).

- Stan Lee originally was planning on creating a superhero based on a fly or another insect before settling on spider. Martin Goodman, the head of Marvel at the time, was disapproving of the concept, claiming that people hated spiders.
- Spider-Man is strong enough to bench press 10 tons and achieve a top speed of 200mph. His webs are strong enough to contain even the Hulk; however, they dissolve after an hour.
- Spider-Man’s parents were first revealed as spies in 1968. In the 1990s, it was revealed that Mary and Richard Parker were actually spies working with S.H.I.E.L.D. to help take down Hydra.
- Neither Mary Jane Watson nor Gwen Stacy was Spider-Man’s first love interest. That honor fell to Betty Brant, a secretary at the Daily Bugle. In fact, Spider-Man also had a relationship of sorts with Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. Black Cat.
- The same spider that bit Peter Parker and gave him his powers also bit a classmate of his: Cindy Moon. Cindy was taken by a man named Ezekiel Sims to be trained, becoming the superhero known as Silk.
