Marvel Heroes defining Spider-Man as “The best of us,” is not just a phrase, it’s a tribute given to the iconic superhero for his relentless acts of selflessness.

A recurring phrase that has cemented Spider-Man’s reputation as the most important hero comes from not just one but multiple Marvel heroes.

What Makes Him the Best?
While there is not a definite answer to it, the superheroes call him the best without any explanation given to the statement which in itself is an explanation. 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.”
