What makes a comic book character a superhero? Is it the powers? Their dedication to something bigger than themselves? Or could it be something else entirely? It's clear that the web-slinger himself, Spider-Man, is one of the most recognizable characters in pop culture history, with a level of popularity rivaled only by other superheroes like Batman and Superman. The latest entry in his filmography, Spider-Man: Brand New Daystarring Tom Holland, has further cemented the character's legacy, crossing the $2 billion threshold at the global box office. But what is it about Spider-Man that makes him so unique? Why is Peter Parker so beloved by both comic and non-comic fans alike? Well, the answer is simple: Spider-Man's greatest superpower isn't his webs, his super strength, or his "spidey sense." It's that he feels like one of us.
