SPIDER-MAN: The Hero Who Can't Stop Screwing Up

Spider-Man. The wall-crawling, web-slinging, responsibility-avoiding legend. He’s been in comics, cartoons, video games, movies, and even accidentally inspired Power Rangers (long story, look it up). But who is Spider-Man, really?

If you think you know the story, let’s take a chaotic, slightly inaccurate, but completely entertaining look at the life and questionable choices of Peter Parker.

The Birth of a Hero (Or a Walking OSHA Violation) 🕷️

Peter Parker was your typical nerdy teen—bullied at school, obsessed with science, and dangerously passionate about wheat cakes (seriously, look it up). One day, he decided to attend a radioactive science exhibit (as you do) and got bitten by a radioactive spider.

Now, let’s pause here.
❌ No one questions why a supercharged spider is just chilling at a school event.
❌ No safety regulations? No "Hey, maybe don’t touch the glowing insect"?
❌ Just straight-up mutation?

Well, in classic Marvel fashion, instead of getting, like, radiation poisoning, Peter wakes up with spider-like superpowers:
✔️ Wall-crawling
✔️ Super strength & agility
✔️ Spider-sense (aka early-access WiFi for danger)

Naturally, Peter does what any responsible teenager would do—he becomes a pro wrestler.

The Rise and Immediate Fall of Spider-Man 🤦‍♂️

After body-slamming grown men for cash, Peter starts chasing fame & fortune. He even makes a full-on superhero costume and invents web shooters (which, by the way, should’ve made him a billionaire alone).

Then, things take a turn.

• Peter sees a robber running away.
• Does he stop him? Nah, not his problem.
• Turns out, that robber later kills his Uncle Ben.
• Peter realizes: Oh no, my bad.

And so, he adopts the legendary motto:
🗣️ "With great power comes great—wait, I messed that up."

From that moment, he vows to fight crime, thus becoming Spider-Man: New York’s most overworked, underpaid hero.

Spider-Man's Greatest Hits (And Misses) 🎯

Peter Parker is a good guy, but also an absolute disaster. Let’s highlight some of his best screw-ups:

✅ Breaking & Entering (For a Job)

Peter breaks into the Fantastic Four’s HQ hoping they’ll hire him. They… do not.

✅ Angering His Biggest Hater

He publicly humiliates J. Jonah Jameson (owner of the Daily Bugle), who then dedicates his entire life to ruining Spider-Man.

✅ Accidentally Creating the Sinister Six

Peter pisses off so many villains that they decide to unionize.

✅ Getting His Aunt Kidnapped (A LOT)

Aunt May gets kidnapped so often that at this point, she should have a frequent abduction punch card.

✅ Becoming a Spider-Monster

One time, Peter mutated into a literal giant spider. Because comics.

✅ Fighting Crime in Florida (WHY?)

There was no reason for this. He just went to Florida and fought crime.

The Tragic Love Life of Peter Parker 💔

Despite all this, Peter somehow gets girlfriends. His first great love? Gwen Stacy.

🕷️ Green Goblin yeets her off a bridge.
🕷️ Spider-Man "saves" her… by snapping her neck.
🕷️ He convinces himself she was already dead, which is… questionable.

Peter moves on to Mary Jane Watson, who actually tolerates his nonsense. They get married! Yay! Then…

🕷️ Satan erases their marriage from reality. (Yes, really.)
🕷️ Because Marvel thought "Married Peter Parker is boring."
🕷️ So they sacrificed his relationship to the literal Devil.

Peter Parker: Master of self-sabotage.

Venom, Clones, and Other Nightmares 👹

Spider-Man’s life gets weirder.

✅ Possessed by an alien symbiote (aka the Black Suit/Venom).
✅ Fights himself. (Kinda.)
✅ The Clone Saga happens. (We don’t talk about the Clone Saga.)
✅ His best friend becomes the Green Goblin (family tradition, I guess).
✅ Dies. Comes back. Dies again.

At this point, New York should have a backup Spider-Man on speed dial.

When Peter Parker Became a CEO & Failed Spectacularly 💸

Peter inherits a billion-dollar company and immediately tanks it.

• Loses the company.
• Loses the trademark to Spider-Man.
• How. Do. You. Lose. Your. Own. Name?

Peter Parker: The worst businessman in Marvel history.

The Ultimate Spider-Man Theme: Failure & Persistence 🏆

The best part about Spider-Man? He never gives up.

✔️ He fails constantly.
✔️ He makes terrible choices.
✔️ The universe seems determined to ruin his life.

But no matter how many times Peter Parker screws up, he always gets back up and tries again. That’s what makes him the most relatable superhero of all time.

Spider-Man is the GOAT 🕷️🔥

Spider-Man is:
✅ The most chaotic superhero.
✅ A lovable disaster.
✅ Proof that even superheroes make dumb choices.

And honestly? That’s why we love him.
