Stan Lee comes up with the idea for Spider-Man and the character first appears in a comic as a supporting character.

Spider-Man gets his own comic, "The Amazing Spider-Man".

Spider-Man gets his own movie ("Spider-Man") starring Tobey Maguire. Two sequels get made in 2004 and 2007.

"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" debuts on Broadway in NYC.

"The Amazing Spider-Man" starring Andrew Garfield premieres. A sequel ("The Amazing Spider-Man 2") debuts in 2014.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" premieres, starring Tom Holland.

Depending how far back in time you want to go and which producers/directors you prefer, you could easily spend an entire day watching movie adaptations of Spider-Man comics.

Perhaps you and your friends could watch and compare the latest releases, both Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man and discuss which version is better.

Invite your friends over, decorate the house and get the silly string web-slinging devices ready 'cause it’s party time! To really make your party stand out, try some Spidey-themed food like deviled eggs with paprika shaken into the shape of a spider.

To keep the adults happy, try making the Spider-Man cocktail mixed with cherry and raspberry liqueurs, tequila and a sprinkling of pop rocks.

Ever wanted to leap and fly like Spider-Man? While swinging through New York City with a series of webs isn’t quite realistic, the growing trend of parkour can be done, right here and now.

A mix of gymnastics and dancing, building up your parkour skills means flipping, sliding and jumping through the city just like Spidey.

Superman is an alien and Batman is rich beyond measure but Peter Parker is the everyday high school kid we all used to be. By creating a hero with whom we identify, Marvel managed to inspire all of us to do our part for the good of the community. We just have to figure out how to do it without super strength or spidey sense.

When comic book movies had a resurgence in the early 21st century, Spider-Man led the way. The 2002 release of Spider-Man resulted in a gross income of nearly $822 million worldwide.

Its sequel in 2004 raked in almost $784 million while the third installment in 2007 broke all previous records with gross income just shy of $891 million worldwide.

From the iconic quote “with great power comes great responsibility” to learning humility, Spider-Man has bestowed some core life lessons on generations of fans.

His ability to not take credit for the good he does and his commitment to always be himself serve as models for us all.
