In his 1962 debut in the Amazing
Fantasy comic book, Spiderman started to fight crime in response to the
murder of his Uncle Ben. His alias ‘Peter Parker’ used to be self-absorbed and
a bit of a wimp*, but his transformation allowed him to do
good, and to improve on his own life and that of others.

sometimes even struggles to pay rent. He also enjoys playing tricks on people
and is extremely sarcastic when helping people. Most of all, he is kind, brave
and loyal.
Powers:
Spider sense – can sense danger and knows how to avoid it.
Wall crawling – the ability to cling* to any surface
that he climbs.
Strength and ability – reflexes that work 40 times faster than a normal person.

temperatures and propel* over 50 yards.
