Spider Man
Spider-Man is the quintessential
Marvel character. Although a super hero, he is spared none of the
slings and arrows of ordinary life; he experiences difficulties with
friends, family, sweethearts and employers. His powers enable him
to do good, but not to improve his own lot in life, and it is his
simple humanity, rather than his exotic talent, that has won him
millions of enthusiastic fans. He is one super-hero who has not lost
the common touch, and in fact he is frequently described as "your
friendly neighborhood Spider-Man."
In his 1962 debut, Spider-Man took to fighting crime for a reason commonplace in comc books: he was motivated by the murder of a father figure, his Uncle Ben. Yet Spidey's driving force is guilt, not revenge; he must live forever with the knowledge that he could have prevented the killing if he had not been so self absorbed. Perhaps he suffers from a classic Oedipus complex; in any case he is certainly neurotic, forever agonizing over the choices that confront him when he attempts to do the right thing. Despite his best efforts, he is viewed with a touch of suspicion by those in authority, and is sometimes considered little more than a criminal himself.
