The Marvel Universe should be grateful that Spider-Man is a friendly neighborhood hero. After all, if Peter Parker had been swayed towards the dark side, there would be little hope for New York City (if not the world). Spider-Man began his journey 60 years ago as a young man looking to do good in the world, and his run-in with a radioactive spider made that mission possible. For decades, fans have watched as Peter's powers came into their own, and now Marvel has given those readers an exciting update on the hero's seriously incredible strength.
