Peter Parker Hero

919 Words4 Pages

Ever since I was very young, I have always had an infatuation with the struggle between good and evil, with heroes and villains caught in a constant struggle. I idolized heroes such as Captain America, Superman, and Batman. However, there was something that these heroes lacked: relatability. Sure, it was fun to read and watch these demigods beat the living snot out of evildoers, but I could never really believe that these characters could be real.

I know for myself, one of the most relatable parts of the Spider-Man mythos is Peter’s Aunt, May Parker, who is always portrayed in poor health, actually being brought to the brink of death multiple times in the comics (“Spider-Man”).

    From raging hormones to feelings of inadequacy, the teenage life is a mountain to overcome. This is especially true for a teenager who has superpowers. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the protagonist is a fifteen-year-old teenager who wants to use his powers for the betterment of mankind, but he also has to play the role of boring Peter Parker.
