Spider-Man

One bite from an irradiated spider turned a bullied science kid from Queens into something the city had never seen: a hero who could lift a bus before he could legally drive one. But the powers are not the story. The story is the night Peter Parker let a thief run past him, and the price his Uncle Ben paid for it. Every web he has slung since is an apology and a promise in the same motion. He is the hero who fights a galaxy-class threat at midnight and still misses rent in the morning, who quips through broken ribs because silence would let the fear in, who saves the mugger's victim and then walks home in the rain. The mask hides a neighbour, a nephew, a kid doing his homework late. That is the whole point of the mask: under it, he could be any of us, which is why he never gets to stop.
