Amazing Fantasy # 15 (1962)
The story that started it all. Peter Parker is a teenager living in Queens with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May Parker. He attends high school where he is a talented science student and looks like a nerd. In a radiation demonstration, Peter is bitten by a radioactive spider who, while making him feel sick, discovers that it has given him both superhuman qualities, such as jumping into the air, and “the proportional speed, strength, and agility of a spider”.
His skills make him a TV sensation with his real identity a secret. Until one day, when he got home, he found out that Uncle Ben was killed by a burglar who tried to rob the house and escaped. Peter, in his Spider-Man suit, corners the rogue and discovers that the same man had tried to rob the studio where he recorded his stunts, but that he had preferred to ignore it due to his new arrogance. From this event came the famous line “with great power comes great responsibility”, which motivates him to become the vigilante of the city.
Animated series Spider-Man (1967-70)
The first animated adaptation of Spider-Man was starred by the voice Paul Soles (who incidentally passed away on May 26, 2021). The show introduced the famous theme song by Bob Harris and Oscar winner Paul Francis Webster.
The hero’s story wasn’t revealed until the second season. The background is very similar to the Lee and Ditko classic, with minor differences: Peter is already in college, has a motorcycle, and doesn’t wear glasses, though he’s still a science enthusiast otherwise. During this cartoon, Peter’s main love interest is Betty Brant, who is depicted as a redhead.
Spider-Man: The manga (1970-71)
This adaptation manga from Spider-Man gave us the teenager from Tokyo Yu Komori as the main hero. Despite his youth, Yu has a talent for science and is allowed to conduct his own private experiment with radioactive materials.
While working, Yu is bitten by a spider irradiated from his experiments. He quickly realizes his new abilities and then creates a costume and web shooters seemingly just for the fun of it.
Action TV series Spider-Man (1977-79)
After Spidey made numerous appearances on the children’s educational show The Electric Company, CBS decided to test it on their own show. A two-hour pilot starring Nicholas Hammond aired since 1977.
The pilot features Peter Parker as a college student who works part-time as a photographer for the Daily Bugle. In the university lab, Peter is conducting his own experiment when a spider walks in and is irradiated. Therefore, like Yu, Peter is indirectly responsible for his own powers when the spider bites him. Minutes later, Peter discovers his ability to climb walls when he dodges a car heading his way.
Despite the fact that he was hired as a consultant, Stan Lee stated that he did not care much about this interpretation of the wall-crawler.
Action series Spider-Man, de Toei (1978-79)
Although it aired in Tokyo for just under a year, this live-action series included a television movie and 41 episodes. Starring Shinji Todo, this show featured Takuya Yamashiro, a popular motorcycle racer in his 20s. Takuya meets the warrior Garia, the last survivor of the Spider Planet, a world destroyed by Prof. Monster and his evil Iron Cross army. Now, Takuya must continue the fight against the villain.
As a superhero, Spidey (who is sometimes portrayed as a “messenger from hell”) becomes quite popular with audiences and inspires hit songs like Spider-Man Boogie.
Marvel Productions animated series Spider-Man (1981)
This animated Spider-Man series released the new Marvel Productions. The cartoon starred Ted Schwartz and featured Peter as a college student who has also been a superhero for over three years. Peter lives with his Aunt May, balancing classes with his activities as Spider-Man and his work as a freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle.

Starring Dan Gilvezan (who also voices Bumblebee in the original cartoon of Transformers), this cartoon made Spidey the leader of a superhero trio. His teammates are Bobby Drake, aka Iceman (a founding member of the X-Men) and the new Angelica Jones character, Firestar, (whose design was based on Mary Jane Watson from the comics). The team were collectively known as Spider-Friends and not only did they work together and attend the same college, but they lived together at Aunt May’s house.
Spider-Man, the animated series (1994-98)
The new Spider-Man animated series, which aired in Fox after the success of the cartoon of X-Men of the 1990s, it had as its protagonist Christopher Daniel Barnes in the title role and was the first adaptation to feature Mary Jane Watson as Peter’s love interest.
Unlike previous cartoons, this show dealt with the new censorship standards. For one thing, Spider-Man was generally not allowed to directly hit an enemy. The words murder, kill, and death were forbidden, so Uncle Ben’s fate had to be implied. And when a version of the supervillain team was scheduled to appear, the Sinister six, the English name Sinister Six had to be changed to Insidious Six, because the word sinister / sinister was too violent.
The Ultimate Spider-Man Anthology (1996)
In the 1990s, some Marvel prose anthology books were published that often had the word ultimate (last and final, in Spanish) in the title. The Ultimate Spider-Man Anthology (The Ultimate Spiderman Anthology) is based on the conventional version of the comic, which could fit in the continuity if the reader so desired.
The opening story was an account of the origin of Spider-Man by Peter David and Stan Lee. Most of the items were familiar, but this story shows that the spider that bit Peter becomes radioactive thanks to the experiments of Dr. Otto Octavius, the same experiment that turns him into Doctor Octopus. Doc Ock blames the spider for the explosion that fuses his metal arm harness with his body and mind, and by extension holds Spider-Man responsible.
Spider-Man: Chapter One (1998)
A strange attempt to modernize the origin of Spider-Man, this series borrowed the idea that Spidey and Doc Ock were created in the same accident. Written and drawn by John Byrne. In this case, Peter is watching Dr. Octavius demonstrate how to control radiation. But the instruments are so sensitive that the presence of a single spider causes the entire building to explode. Dozens of people are killed or permanently injured by the blast. Octavius survives, now Dr. Octopus. Peter is alive and barely conscious when the now radioactive spider bites him.
Comics Ultimate Spider-Man (2000 – present)
After the success of the new action movie X-Men And with a Spider-Man movie in the works, Marvel decided to create a new fictional universe for people who enjoyed movies, but didn’t dare to wade into decades and decades of comics.
This new parallel universe would be separate from the main Marvel reality and refresh many characters to appear fresh and cutting edge. These comics were published under the ‘Ultimate Marvel’ label.
In the “Ultimate Spider-Man” arc, Peter is a high school nerd with glasses and is best friends with Mary Jane, a classmate and neighbor he has known for years. He is also friends with rich kid Harry Osborn, son of Norman Osborn, whom he did not meet until college in mainstream comics.
In this version, Peter’s career as a hero ends when he dies in battle. The young Miles Morales has become the new Spider-Man of that reality, a teenager with an African-American father and a Puerto Rican mother. He gets his similar powers from another Norman Osborn spider specimen.
