The thing is I don’t just love Spider-Man…I’m in love with him. Spider-Man was the first comic book I ever read and right away I felt a connection that I knew would last a lifetime. We’ve had our ups and downs just like any couple and I’ll move on to another character, but I always always return to Spider-Man.
I grew up in the golden age of Marvel Cartoons; X-MEN was my introduction, but shortly after came the Spider-Man cartoon. Now, I loved me some X-MEN but there was something more about Spidey, something that really spoke to me. It was Peter Parker. He was a kid, a nerdy, genius, but still just a kid…just like me.
While the X-MEN taught me that being different was not a curse Peter Parker taught me what being not only a good person was, but a good man.
These two have said enough. I’ll take that prize now. Thanks.
Tika, Stubbs isn’t paying attention to the rules of the contest!!
I love Spider-man because Black Cat is super hot and Venom is a bad ass.

Spider-Man is the perpetual underdog. He’s always struggling to do what’s right when half the time he should just be struggling to stay alive. That’s why Spider-Man is great.
I love web!
