"Peter Parker is the guy who got bit by the radioactive spider, the toxic bug if you will, and became Spiderman. Normally he's a nebbish. No money, no prestige, and no future. But if you try to mug him in a dark alley, you're meat. The question he keeps asking himself is: 'Do those moments of satisfaction I get as Spiderman make up for all the crap I have to take as Peter Parker?' In my case, the answer is yes." Sangamon Taylor
