The resulting shame of his involvement in that murder is the true origin of the superhero Spider-Man. Peter returns home to discover that the very deviant he so flagrantly neglected while counting his sideshow winnings has killed his Uncle Ben. Why should he care? His exact words delivered to a police officer in pursuit of the criminal and provided by Stan Lee in “Amazing Fantasy #15” were, “From now on I just look out for number one – that means – me!” Here is another Marvel protagonist battling his inner A-hole.īOOM.
When the opportunity to prevent a stickup presents itself, Peter doesn’t lift a finger. He takes his newfound superpowers and selfishly applies them to get-rich feats of strength.
A radioactive spider makes a snack of his hand and transforms him into a beefcake specimen worthy of Asgard. The ultra-nerd teenager who spent most of his life pining for unattainable dream girls and dodging the physical aggression of jock drones was one wish fulfillment fantasy away from following in the footsteps of Aldrich Killian ( remember that guy?).
