sidekicks and many people are scared of spiders both true but clearly not impediments to spider-man's global webby domination number six indeed Stanley specifically wanted to create a series that featured a young hero to whom teenagers could relate as the popularity of comics amongst teens was increasing at the time there's use in your noggin number seven and Stanley was right people loved spider-man so much that the spider-man solo spin-off comic The Amazing Spiderman was quickly produced and it released his very first issue several months later on the 10th of March 1963 number 8 many

sales of licensed spider-man products reached approximately 1.3 billion dollars more than that of Batman Superman and the Avengers combined number 16 in 1976 Marvel collaborated with somewhat surprisingly Planned Parenthood to release the amazing spider-man vs. The Prodigy the character not the English electronic dance music group the eponymous villain the prodigy was an alien in human disguise who attempted to convince teenagers to have unprotected sex so he was a pervert basically number 17 in the same year Marvel released the mighty Marvel Comics strength and fitness book in

biceps and disgusting stre noodle legs number 18 on the 5th of June 1987 Marvel held a PR event in which actress depicted spider-man and Mary Jane being married at Shea Stadium the old home of the

universe it's revealed that radioactivity in Peters body irradiated his ur you know dude juice sadly Mary Jane ended up on the receiving end of that stuff which had the unfortunate side effect of giving her terminal cancer number 20 bizarrely pop hyper star Michael Jackson attempted to buy Marvel in the 90s so he could create a spider-man movie with himself in the title role Jacko was

and three different live-action television programs number 22 by these super stories was a recurring skit series that appeared on the educational kids TV show The Electric Company in which Spiderman never spoke out loud communicating only to word bubbles bit like we do here the show's writers decided the character would not talk because he had no mouth number 23 the actor who portrayed Spidey on the show was actually a guy called Danny Seagram and as such was the first actor to play a live-action spider-man in the suit number 24 another notable spider-man TV show was that of spider-man the

number 26 the first live-action spider-man movie movie was directed by Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi and was released on the 3rd of May 2002 the movie starred Tobey Maguire as everybody's favorite swinger oh that sounds weird I should have used different wording there number 27 when Spiderman was released here in the UK the British Board of Film classification created a whole new rating especially for it known as 12a which allowed kids younger than 12 to go and see the film as long as they were accompanied by an adult is what an incorrect person would say contrary to popular belief the 12 a rating was not specifically created for spider-man in fact the first 12 a rating went to the Bourne Identity those Spider Man did get worn off at the first 12 a ratings number 28 the first and third Sam Raimi spider-man films were the highest-grossing films in America in each of their respective years spider-man made four hundred and three million seven hundred six thousand three hundred seventy-five dollars in 2002 and spider-man 3 raked in 336 million two hundred fifty thousand three hundred and three dollars in 2007 spider-man 2 however was the second highest grossing film

wall-e this time played by plucky anglo-american Andrew Garfield the film titled The Amazing Spiderman was released during the 50th anniversary celebrations of the release at the first spider-man comic number 30:56 spider-man suits were created for the amazing spider-man Garfield used 17 of them while the others were for the film's various doubles and men number 31 a musical adaptation of the comics spider-man turn off the dark opened in 2011 after a record-breaking preview period consisting of one hundred and eighty two preview performances number 32 the reason for the extraordinarily long preview period was the disastrous production which was beset by delays budget overruns cast and crew replacement and a number of highly publicized injuries which occurred during rehearsals and in front of audiences one stunt double broke both his wrists during a stunt demonstration for a small audience of industry insiders in which he was catapulted from the back of the stage to the very front obviously there's no footage of this so here's a representation using Microsoft Paint number three three number 33 as such the musical now has the honor of being the most expensive show in the history of Broadway costing an insane seventy nine million dollars number 34 eggs President Obama once stated that his favorite superheroes are spider-man and Batman not only that but Marvel once published several special issues of amazing spider-man volume number one number five eight three which prominently featured Obama on the front cover the first was released on January of 2009 right before Obama's inauguration number 35 of course what we really want to talk about right now are the more recent the spider-man films that take place in the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe starting in 2016 with Captain America Civil War these films feature none other than mr. Tom Holland who at 19 is the youngest actor to be cast as Peter Parker his main predecessors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were 25 and 26 respectively when they were cast in the role number 36 during casting Holland was in competition with hundreds of other perspective Spider Men so in an attempt to add some pizzazz to his submission he literally somersaulted in and out of frame in his audition tape he continued to use his tactic in his in-person auditions - and apparently it worked so I suggest some resulting in an out of every single situation you can it's a surefire success number 37 of course nowadays Tom Holland is known for his acrobatic abilities but he was well into lobbing himself about long before his big break as spider-man Holland has stated that he and his friends go free running all the time and he admits he's even gone running about on rooftop jumping between buildings like a goddamn liability damn it Tom number 38 Tom Holland auditioned an incredible eight times for the right to call himself spider-man number 39 apparently the six finalists for the coveted role of spider-man were asa butterfield judah lewis matt Lintz Charlie plumber Charlie Rowe and of course the eventual victor Tom Holland interestingly that means three of these candidates were English number 40 apparently Holland's frequent coworker and connoisseur again dad Robert Downey jr. helped his little buddy out by weighing in during casting giving producers positive reinforcement when Tom was under consideration sneaky number 41 after his final audition for the spider-man role in Captain America Civil War Holland was told he would find out the next day whether or not have been successful in reality Holland found out he'd won the role six full entire whole last weeks later not only that the meaning of life of venom Holland didn't even find out through the ordinary established channels that his entire life was about to change a miserable a do-over but for a post on Marvel's Instagram page Millennials say so extra number 43 interestingly Holland appears to have unwittingly been made a vessel for divine intercession in 2013 when asked what kind of roles he'd like to do in the future Holland expressed interest in projects involving both action and humor to which the interviewer suggested he play a superhero in response Holland said maybe spider-man in 10 years time for rebooted reboot if they do that and did they do that number 44 Holland ultimately signed a six picture deal that would include at least three solo spider-man films number 45 although his spider-man predecessor Andrew Garfield is also English he was actually born in the US making Holland as the first non-us born actor to play spider-man number 46 Holland has stated that he relates to spider-man on a personal level likening their similar struggles with school talking to girls and homework as do most young boys Tom are not special well okay you could do 15 pretty good flips but other than that number 47 Holland has admitted in other interviews that growing up he owned over 20 different spider-man costumes nerd that's way more embarrassing than my Thomas the Tank Engine obsession which definitely did not become so profound that I ceased to recognize the separation between myself and Thomas prompting me to demand my parents call me Thomas assignment in the United Sodor nope no that did not happen number 48 having received praise for his convincing American accent Tom Holland has revealed that his preferred place to practice his Yankee Doodle dialect is in the shower I preferred to practice my American accent peacefully surrounded by friends and family not in the shower you shouldn't have those people in the shower with you number 49 the design of spider-man's suit in the film was based on the original look in the comics when he debuted all the way back in 1962 number 50 similarly the eyeholes in Spidey's mask actually changed size in civil war in order to reflect the characters expressive eyes in the comics number 51 although spider-man's suit was created using CGI for every scene a prototype super - actually built during production that Tom Holland did wear on sent during some filming as the filmmakers didn't decide to scrap the physical suit altogether until later on number 52 Holland's bounty loquacious spider-man was praised for its faithful adaptation of the original character whereas previous versions made spider-man actually fully grown men that simply had some boyish qualities Holland's portrayal is definitely more teenage let's face it it was very difficult to believe that Tobey Maguire was in high school in the film I mean not like ever number 53 at one point during filming Civil War Tom Holland literally broke his nose when performing a flip according to Holland himself the crude industry realized the injury was as serious as it was until he tried to get up at which point everyone stopped laughing and called for medical help number 50 for certain moments from the airport fight scene in civil war were reshot from spider-man's perspective to be used in the opening video diary scene in spider-man homecoming even though there's one but that doesn't really make sense because there's a massive inconsistency because he says you know Jess word when reacting to Giant Man for the first time but then we see him react to giant man the first time looking at the cameras point of view in homecoming which means which one's the real reaction we don't know do we silly silly Sony speaking of spider-man homecoming number 55 spider-man homecoming everybody the second film to feature holland as the Webby wit to prepare his role in the film holland went so far as to spend several days attending classes at the Bronx High School of Science in New York City where he used the name of his acting coach as an alias number 56 in order to prepare for the film the cast of homecoming got together for a John Hughes movie marathon to acquaint themselves with the master of coming-of-age cinematic tales about John Hughes I just said his name earlier number 57 the film's primary antagonist the vulture is played tremendously by Hollywood legend Michael Keaton who is another fantastic actor who frightens the bejesus out of me with the Baltus appearance in the film two-thirds of the sinister six the cabal of supervillains who obsessively terrorize spider-man in the comics have now been shown in movie form number 58 Robert Downey jr. aka Tony Stark aka Iron Man appears prominently in the film filling the role of peter's mentor however that responsibility was originally going to fall on Nick Fury played by everyone's favorite terrifying actor samuel l.jackson number 59 apparently Mark Hamill wanted to play the vulture of Michael Keaton turned down the part not not happening new who know you can't be in Star Wars and the MCU it's not fair number 60 interestingly the vulture was originally going to appear in the fourth installment of the original Sam Raimi spider-man series with yet another incredible and utterly terrifying actor John Malkovich preparing for the role however the film was ultimately cancelled when Sony decided to reboot the series of Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield great idea gang number 61 interestingly Adrian Toomes has never actually referred to as the vulture and most other characters only ever call him vulture guy which has a slightly less impressive ring to it number 62 when he's not messing around with alien technology or threatening teenage boys in his car the vulture could often be seen wearing a dark leather bomber jacket with a fuzzy white collar this mimics the appearance of actual vultures some species of which have a collar of lightly colored feathers around their necks number 63 both Peter Parker and the legendary punk band The Ramones are from Forest Hill in Queens New York which might be why the Ramones song a blitzkrieg bop is featured twice in the film soundtrack the song can also be heard in the 2012 Andrew Garfield led movie The Amazing Spiderman in which he can be seen wearing a Ramones t-shirt The Ramones also famously the original spider-man theme song in the form of a hidden bonus track on the US version of their final album adios amigos Nintendo 64 in the comics Flash Thompson was a big burly jock trope who bullied the nerdy Peter Parker for being a scrawny little nerdy nerd in homecoming however his character was revamped into a wealthy douchebag to fit a more contemporary bully stereotype number 65 aren't Mays car number plates in the film is AMF 1 5 6 2 this is a sneaky little reference to the origins of spider-man AM F stands for amazing fantasy 15 is the issue number and 62 is 1962 referring back to spider-man's aforementioned first appearance an amazing fancy number 15 all the way back in 1960 der number strict except the voice of Cour and in spider-man homecoming affectionately known by Peter as suit lady belongs to American actress Jennifer Connelly wife of English actor Paul Bettany who voiced Jarvis and plays vision in Ironman what small world I wonder if they know number 67 it's revealed in the film that midtown school of science and technology the school that Park Returns was founded in 1962 yet another reference to spider-man's year of origin number 68 when Spiderman confronts Aaron Davis in the parking garage the license plate is UCS no.1 this is thought to stand for Ultimate Comics spider-man number 1 which contained the first appearance of Miles Morales as spider-man in the Ultimate Marvel Universe Donald Glover who plays Davis in the film has been the center of spider-man reboot rumors for years and Aaron Davis himself is the uncle of Miles Morales number 16 no mr. stark I feel so good when spider-man is on the phone having an attitude on the lamppost the word Bagley can be seen spray-painted on the building wall behind him in large letters look there it is this is in reference to veteran comic book artist Mark Bagley known for his work on the amazing spider-man and ultimate spider-man comics number 70 as usual comic book legend Stan Lee has a cameo in the film as an angry local resident shouting from a window incredibly that cameo was one of four that was shot in the same day the others being Doctor Strange guardians of the galaxy vol 2 and thor ragnarok number 71 the books that Michonne can be seen reading in the film each of a subtle relation just a man starting with W Somerset Maugham of Human Bondage which tells the story of an orphan who lives with his aunt just like Peter Parker she's also reading invitation to a beheading by Vladimir Nabokov in which a condemned prisoner awaits execution with only a spider to keep him company number 72 not only that - Michelle can also be seen wearing a t-shirt that bears the image of Sylvia Plath an American writer known for writing a poem called spider number 73 though Peter is shown wearing boxer shorts before he puts on the spider-man suit Hollanders revealed he actually wore a thong underneath as the outfit was skin tight and the sinewy contort of his body could not be interrupted by bunched up fabric thank God for thongs well I heard that audio is an isolated news against me in the future number 74 homecoming was also the first solo spider-man film to not feature or even mention Uncle Ben in any way Peter Parker does allude to bad things having happened to his on may but nothing further than that number 75 interestingly homecoming is also the first spider-man film in which we see the wisecracking Iraq no hero with the canonical web wings often seen in the comics number 76 though the majority of the movie takes place in the New York borough of Queens most of the actual filming took place in Atlanta Georgia with some additional footage shot in LA Washington DC and Berlin Germany however a small portion of the film was actually shot in the real New York City baby forget about it number 77 it was during the promotion of homecoming that Hollen revealed that rather ironically he actually hate spiders with a pretty big passion to quite a master Holland I hate them they're terrifying like 100% I hate spiders I thought I really liked him I learned it was just false I really can't be around spiders it scares me so much sorry Tom if you're watching number 78 Holland also revealed that the reasoning behind his characters reluctance to intentionally punch anyone in the face was because if you were to be punched in the face by someone who can lift a truck you're likely to pop your proverbial clogs immediately upon impact as such Spidey only ever punches people accidentally in the film number 79 one of the posters used to promote the film prior to its release Victor - here a reclining extra body of water wearing his high-school academic decathlon blazer and listening to music in a pair of headphones this image actually shows Holland your break between filming with the actor later revealing he actually fell asleep in the photograph Holland was apparently extremely surprised to find out it been made into a poster number 80 fireman homecoming was sent to theaters under the codename scavenger and nod to the dining habits of vultures this was done as a precaution against potential film thieves bootleggers leakers ruffians vagabonds pilferers and criminals of every sort bring back hanging outside number 81 Holland has stated that while wearing the spider-man suit he can only ever see about five feet in front of him with no peripheral vision whatsoever doesn't really seem like an ideal quality for a superhero outfit but hey I'm just a lowly normal mortal civilian whose only superpower is being of normally good at Guitar Hero yep that's right through the fire and flames is my beat on hard mode experts to difficult number 82 throughout almost the entire span of filming for homecoming Holland managed to remain uninjured while performing his usual cavalcade of flips and stunts and whatnot it wasn't until he actually finished shooting one day toward the end of production that he fell down a flight of stairs and tweaked his ACL the number 83 in April of 2018 Avengers Infinity Ward was released and I peed myself in excitement but also it featured the one and only Tom Holland a spider-man surprise yep he's in it too it wasn't though hilariously Hollander was not actually allowed to read the script for the film as the previous year had become notorious for revealing too many secrets for spider-man homecoming number 84 in fact the higher-ups at Disney went to extreme lengths to prevent Holland from ruining the entire franchise with his loose ship sinking lips this included withholding key information about the film until it was absolutely necessary and even giving him fake scripts but number 85 in a nod to Holland's reputation for being spilling one of the promotional videos for infinity war featured several of its cast members in an interrogation room refusing to divulge spoilers with Holland's mouth conspicuously taped closed number 86 and one boys in the film Parker asked Tony if he's ever seen the 1996 sci-fi classic aliens to which he refers as a really old movie this is a callback to spider-man's previous appearance in civil war in which he declares that the Empire Strikes Back is also an old movie number 87 apparently the reason why spider-man's death took so long in infinity war was because his spiders Enter I'm early and haste accelerated healing slowed it down spoilers by the way sorry about that before he finally succumbed to the ineffable decree of the universe's biggest emo and let's say it buff daddy nanos number eighty-eight interestingly in the actual script for the film spider-man's death wasn't quite so drawn-out the only dialogue was the now classic line I don't feel so good but the filmmakers wanted to more emotion prompting Holland's heart-wrenching performance of Parker struggling to resist as he's overwhelmed by the power of the Infinity Gauntlet and his soul is ripped away number 89 Holland also revealed that although he's a big fan of Chris Pratt and loved working with him filming alongside him was challenging I went to Pratt's habit of making jokes both in and out of character which made it hard for Holland to keep a straight face number 90 Holland was actually working on another film during the filming of infinity war the other role necessitated longer hair so he had the film stylist incorporate his bitch in new mop into his look for the film after seeing the final look in the trailer however Holland regretted this decision saying he had and I'm quoting him exactly here the most ridiculous equality' stupid haircut of all time I think it was good Tom number 91 Holland based his performance of spider-man on Michael J Fox in the Back to the Future films he stated that his all-time goal was to be his generations Marty McFly number 92 Holland was originally cast a seaplane mcdonough in Jumanji welcome to the jungle but was forced to drop out because he was busy filming spider-man homecoming the role was ultimately filmed by everyone's favorite Jonas Nick Jonas I literally don't know what the other two were called number 93 over the Year spider-man has been adapted into well over 30 solo video games spanning almost 40 years since the first spider-man video game which was released in 1982 for the Atari 2600 number 94 the most recent spider-man game to arise from the dank murky depths of video game development was created by Insomniac Games and is simply entitled spider-man or Marvel's spider-man if you wanna get particular in something at games have stated that this game will have an entirely original story not based on that of any previous spider-man comic TV show or movie movie I mean I don't why I said it like that number 95 the voice of spider-man has been provided by American actor Yuri Lowenthal who is also known for voicing the main character in Ben 10 and the character of Sasuke in the English dub of Naruto number 96 it's also been revealed that spy we'll be roughly 23 in the game meaning he's already an experienced crime fighter having been swinging through New York City not killing but seriously injuring bodies for several years already number 97 many people have wondered why the game's hero bears an uncharacteristic white spider logo insomniac games have stated that there is indeed a good reason for the Albin istic arachnid emblem which players will find out themselves as one of the biggest revelations in the entire adventure number 98 the game will feature a wide range of classic spider-man villains including the likes of the vulture rhino electro the Scorpion and negative man who I believe hopes to defeat spider-man by just being a massive downer number 99 the game has a photo mode that allows players to take selfies yep millennial spider-man is also Instagram famous hundred insomniac have also revealed that all the defaults difficulty setting the average playtester managed to beat the game in roughly twenty hours this has almost doubled the length of most of insomniacs other games look out it's number 101 there are some fairly significant murmurs that suggest that the game may feature everyone's favorite group of good friends you happen to be superheroes The Avengers in-game footage is shown Avengers tower in the background and various bits of marketing including a mock Daily Bugle newspaper have made reference to Iron Man daredevil and
