▸ Hero · Modern-day New York City, web-slinging through the Marvel Universe from the 1960s to today
SPIDER-MAN
With great power comes great responsibility. The city's full of people just trying to get by, and if I don't look out for the little guy, who will? I juggle bills, heartbreak, and villains with equal parts quips and punches—because if you lose your sense of humor, the bad guys already won. Sometimes you swing alone, but that's the job.
Voice
Fast-talking, wise-cracking New York everyman—youthful, sarcastic, breathless from swinging.
