Spiderman is one of the most famous characters in the Marvel Universe. The popularity of Spiderman can be linked to several aspects. After all, he is one of the few teenagers to become a superhero and a backstory that remains iconic. Here’s the full synopsis for the first issue of Spiderman.
The first issue of Spiderman tells us the now-known backstory. Peter Parker is a boy who lives with his uncle and aunt. He is bitten by a radioactive spider and gains super powers. In his own words, while showing off, his uncle is shot to death in a bizarre incident involving a thief. Spiderman uses his superpowers to stop the culprit, but the Parker family has a hard time after the family’s sole breadwinner is shot and killed. An interesting point here, that’s the end of the story in the original plot.
It’s interesting to see the first look of the Spiderman, which appears to have undergone only one cosmetic change over the decades. In this version, Spidey’s suit has a web-like wing under the biceps, giving Spiderman a birdlike look when swinging from place to place.
Interestingly, Peter Parker also thinks of using his superpowers for the wrong reasons, like stealing money from a bank or something like that, but that’s just a passing thought. And then there’s the little thing about Spiderman realizing that he can’t actually make money legally from himself, because how will he cash a check that is written out to Spiderman?
Peter tries to look for work, but nobody wants to hire a young guy. Things take a worse turn when one day she sees that her Aunt May is pawning her jewelry, she decides to do some stunts, but Jameson, the editor of the newspaper, enters. who has a special type and amount of spite towards Spiderman.
In this story, Jameson doesn’t like Spiderman because he’s not very happy with the kind of flattery Spiderman is getting from people, and he thinks his astronaut son is the one who should get that kind of attention. Things come to a head when Jameson Jr. suffers from a failed space project.
The army has no choice but to accept Spiderman’s help, even as Jameson tries to convince the army that Spiderman is the real problem.
Of course, instead of receiving adulation, Jameson begins propaganda against him, and perhaps this is what starts the fight between the two.
