Spiderman is one of the most famous characters in the Marvel Universe. Spiderman’s popularity 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 well-known backstory. Peter Parker is a boy who lives with his uncle and his aunt. He is bitten by a radioactive spider and gains super powers. In his own words, while he is showing off, his uncle is shot dead in a bizarre incident involving a thief. Spider-Man uses his superpowers to stop the culprit, but the Parker family falls on hard times after the family’s only breadwinner is gunned down. Interesting point here, that’s the end of the story in the original plot.
It’s interesting to see Spider-Man’s first look, which appears to have undergone only a single cosmetic change over the decades. In this version, Spidey’s suit has a web-like wing under the biceps, giving Spider-Man a bird-like appearance as he swings from place to place.
Interestingly, Peter Parker also has thoughts about using his superpowers for the wrong reasons, like stealing money from a bank or something, but that’s just a passing thought. And then there’s the little thing about Spider-Man realizing that he can’t actually legally make money off of his character, because how is he going to cash a check that’s written to Spider-Man?
Peter tries to find a job, but no one wants to hire a young guy. Things get worse when he one day sees that her Aunt May is pawning her jewelry. He decides to do some stunts, but Jameson, the editor of the newspaper, walks in. who has a special kind and a special amount of grudge for Spiderman.
In this story, Jameson doesn’t like Spiderman because he’s not very happy with the kind of adulation 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 Spider-Man’s help, even as Jameson tries to convince the army that Spider-Man is the real problem.
Of course, instead of receiving adulation, Jameson starts the propaganda against him, and perhaps this is what starts the fight between the two.
