Spider-Man is one of the earliest and most iconic superheroes which makes him extraordinary not only to the readers, but the entire Marvel Fandom too. He is the epitome of selflessness and purity and how to always put others before oneself while also being full of love and ecstasy. These are reasons in itself for calling him the “best of us.”
