| Spider-Mind, to my mind, has been the second greatest superhero for roughly 60 years, topped only by Superman, who had a nearly 25 year head start on him. That said, obviously Superman doesn't translate as well to movie adaptations as does Spider-Man. The result for Supes on the big screen have been a lot more hit and miss, or more accurately, miss and hit. Spider-Man has had only the Garfield misfires and even those two have plenty of fans. Superman's power level makes him a lot harder to sympathize with than Spider-Man, and because he is so powerful, the only way to "threaten" Superman tends to be to threaten the entire planet, galaxy, or even universe. One of Spidey's biggest problems in the comics over the years have concerned him being simply unable to pay his bills.

I don't know. The Parker family home is 20 Ingram Street in Forest Hills, NY. That's one of the better Queens neighborhoods. Some private streets and expensive condos in parts of Forest Hills. He can't have been all that broke. That address is actually a real location, and the current owner gets lots of Spider-Man fan mail. He says he likes it, but I don't think I would. |

| Spider Man is about to pass Avengers Endgame to become the # 2 film of all time domestically. Will happen within a day or so. Can it catch Star Wars the Force Awakens to become # 1 ? |
