I recall reading a few comics from the Marvel universe. Out of all the characters, I was always fascinated by Spider-Man. When I was a child, physics didn’t make a lot of sense to me, but I imagined a spider biting me, and me gaining the superpowers that Peter gained. I get nostalgic when I see the banner of the new Spider-Man across the city The Peter Parker in older comics has undergone strange and exciting changes. A person coming from the comic world would know that the older Peter was more masculine and intellectually very active. The references I give out in conversations while talking about Spider-Man are never picked up by my friends. If I have to compare the comics to the movie, I would say every film has tried to create a different character around Peter. My Spider-Man fever, however, has not subsided.
