It was in 1962 when the first story in a comic book of one of the most famous super heroes ever appeared in popular culture. We talk about Spider-Man, created by the team of cartoonists Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, whose stories were part of the Marvel series.

After this, he noticed he gained some strange powers that give him abilities similar from a spider, like the ability to climb walls with the greatest of ease and even bring up cobwebs of his wrists. Thanks to this, he has enough speed and invincibility to be a superhero and eventually become known for its suit red and blue, which covers the entire body including his face.

He didn’t belong to the human race, was foreign to her and he was also superior to it.
