Naturally, the comics deserve most of the credit, but Peter Parker has experienced success in nearly every medium. He has many awesome games and multiple cinematic incarnations, all of which have their fans. Finally, Spider-Man animated shows have existed for half a century, and a new one seems to materialize every couple of years.
