Peter Parker's Power

Improved Essays
“With great power comes great responsibility” Up until Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben’s death, Peter misused his powers for selfish reasons, not using them for their full potential of good.

Developing superhuman strength, the ability to stick to walls and use webs, and a spidey-sense, he made use of these new found powers. Dazed by it all of his physical changes, he goes to school where he almost immediately he gets in a fight against the school bully, Flash Thompson. Instead of using his newfound skills

    Love, Power, and Tragedies: Which Spider-Man Did It Better? Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man may seem to be vastly similar throughout both films with them dealing with science fanatic and orphan kid Peter Parker, the essentials being the same just brought upon in different ways and events but closely analyzing each film they seem to have specific distinctive traits.
