He can sense anything miles away like a shark when it’s bloodthirsty. He is very humble, although a jokester in bad situations. He has a sticky situation balancing between his two lifestyles. People in the city mistaken him as a bird striding through the streets. He does not have a big physique, but can hold his own in a fight with his agile reflexes. He does not let anger steer him in the wrong direction no matter how unfortunate it is. Spider-Man, a nerd who coincidentally got bit by a spider, is a courageous figure that people underestimate. No matter how much stress and anger fills his life, he still manages to pull through the good side and does not abuses his powers. His kind heart can be a sucker, but should not be underestimated or …show more content…
He never rushes to judge someone he barely knows, but instead tries to understand and reason with them. If it wasn’t for financial problems or social embarrassment, every one of Spider-Man’s enemies would turn into his friend by now. This empathy Spider-Man shows is inspiring to everyone in society because people always judge others who are not “normal” or is different. He is a big motivation due to our current social norm where we always have to fit in to not be deemed as weird. Spider-Man, by majority of his outstanding characteristics, is a key figure in society. Spider-Man is a person who relates to the majority of people unlike other superheroes such as Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman, who were already blessed with high status being mutated or overwhelmingly rich. According to James Poniewozik, Spider-man was a person who went through “our heartbreaks, reflects our anxieties, and embody our weakness.” He is the one superhero that is not “foreign to us, but is normal and flawed.” Strikingly surprising, Spider-man is the one superhero that can relate most of his traits and experience with everyone in society, which is why he is the image of motivation to

    King Arthur and Spiderman are two fictitious characters that are both similar, and dissimilar to each other. In an excerpt from Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces, he writes about monomyth, which is a twelve step process that is divided into four sections.

    When you think of a hero what is the first image that comes to mind? In this class many would perhaps answer Beowulf, because Beowulf is described as a heroic man with many tales of deeds that stretch beyond imagination. In the story he hears of Grendel and his crimes against the Danes and unceremoniously decided to leave his homeland with fourteen of his steadfast and brave warriors to travel and defeat this beast. Now one might think him brave for taking on this futile task, however brave though he is three parts the fool, and rather arrogant. Though this trait seems to be rather common among ancient, or epic, heroes.…

    “The Pro-Social Mission” If you think about what a superhero means to you, many answers may fly around like bravery, strength, or power. Very rarely do you ever hear about what exactly makes a superhero, super. In my opinion, I believe it is this pro-social mission that keeps them going on the never ending battle against the fight with evil. A hero can have as many powers or identities that they want to have, but the most important component of their being is that they have a specific goal in mind that will work for the greater good of not only the world, but the entire universe. These other two qualities, power and identity just reinforce who the superhero is.…
